Improved Racing Strut Bar interest
This isn't an official group buy. This is merely a list to show IR that there is plenty of intrest for a Strut Bar pro. run. They need 20 people bare minimum. Ideally 30-50 people. I don't know a price yet or when they will start a run even if we have enough people. Could be a month could be six or more.

Reaper thank you for trying to put this together for the community.
For those who don't realize, this is probably the best strut bar available for our cars in a number of ways. In an effort to help get this group buy going, I'm copying and pasting infro from the old group buy here. I personally read this thread before but wasn't familiar with the bar and passed on it until I happened across one and thought it was a great design and great looking.
I am not affiliated with IR, only trying to provide more details for those who aren't really familiar with the bar. They also have some really awesome customization options:

I hope this helps for some of you less familiar.

Features:
Since we now do all of our own laser engraving, we can offer the option of a custom engraving. We will no longer be engraving directly on the bar, but we will instead be engraving a small aluminum plaque that will be attached to the bar with either adhesive or small screws/rivets on one of the end plates and on the center of the bar. We can also now offer custom anodizing colors. Here are the options and how they affect pricing:
Logo/Plaque Options:
Color Options:
Brake Master Cylinder Options:
Base Pricing:
- Clears factory 13B motor
- Clears LS engine swaps with LS1, LS6, or FAST 92mm intakes (does not clear FAST 102mm intake). Clears LS3 intake but there is sometimes a very small amount of interference with the fuel rail, depending on your mounting kit (clears aftermarket rails no problem). Clears factory fuel rail covers.
- Most 20B swaps (we have heard it doesn't clear some aftermarket intake manifolds)
Features:
- SOLID aluminum bar, making it extremely stiff
- All aluminum end plates for a total assembly weighing less than 4.5 lbs
- Built-in master brake cylinder brace provides improved brake feel by eliminating firewall flex under hard braking

- LASER LOGO - Laser engraved Improved Racing logo in center of bar, like the bars we made last time. Limited quantity, we have 4 of these left in stock. These are also only available in black anodized. - $0 extra

So we will have to keep this going here since I can't operate as a vendor or helping hand in the FS section. We might get more eyes in the gen discussion though?
Either way, spread the word guys!!!! This is more possible than ever!! I'm placing my order in the next few days!
