looks nice.. for 149 bucks, not a bad upgrade.

[Si4U2NV]

the stainless one lookz very similar to the neuspeed one...

cant be that bad... a brace is a brace (please no smartass remarkz about that i no quality is different)

-Mike

[Zigen5]

Yes, thats true. It all depends on the material that is used to make the bar. I'd buy one, as long as it doesn't say APC in huge letters on top of it.. ;) :D

[estebones]

Like you said a brace is a brace as long as it is made with good materials and the welds arent too shitty, esp on these types of things(suspension bars)

I like the gunmetal one!

$129.00 each from Nopi, just put in my order today (I was gonna wait for the D3Designs ones, but, I can always buy em later). Should get here on Thursday. I'll post a review when I get em.

[iVtec si]

for the money i'd buy the neuspeed ones, better quality about the same price.

[Gearhead Geek]

Ya but the Neuspeed aren't stainless steel (I'm a sucker for stainless). As I said, once the D3Designs ones come out I'll more than likely sell at least the front one, but, in the mean time I'll give em a shot.

Well, I just got a call from NOPI saying they have none in stock, and that when the guy called APC, they told him they have no date of availability for them. This is the second time something like this has happened to me going through NOPI (buying a product that's listed on their website, that isn't even available), so I think the time has come where I'm just gonna begin boycotting them.
As for strut tower bars, I guess I'll just wait it out now for the D3D ones.

Geez, I hate when peeps don't update their inventory... Did you try Jc Whitney?

[Gearhead Geek]

No, I didn't try JC Whitney. As much as I love them/Crutchfield, they are damn overpriced. Even though I said I was gonna wait for the D3D bars, I acctually went ahead and ordered a Neuspeed front and the no-name $30 rear from Robearracing.com.
Again, once the D3D bars come out I fully intend to get those, but I want something to tide me over in the meantime. Also, the rear D3D will be a C-Pillar brace, and not a strut tower bar, so in acctuality, I'll only be losing money on the front Neuspeed since I'll end up keeping the rear no-name strut brace.

Note to support my arguement of how overpriced JC Whiteney is:
RE Works bars from JC: 149 each + shipping
RE Works bars from NOPI (*mutter*crap*mutter*): $294.31 for both + UPS Ground shipping
Front Neuspeed + Rear No-Name from Robear: $211.37 with UPS 2nd day air shipping

I rest my case :p

*mutters some more about NOPI and their crappy redneck run online store and gets back to his homework*
