Those side bars can't possibly have any advantage to them.
They are just a ricer piece that won't hold up to anything, and certainly won't add any rigidity to the car. Just get a proper floor brace and / or cage if you want to stiffen your car |

I don't see the problem with them.
Looks like a lot of surface area to put cool stickers, plus you can tandem drift at WSIR

Would a cage be better? OF COURSE IT WOULD. Not everyone wants to just slap a cage in their cars though. Cages are very inconvienient for street driving and if you've got a 6-point it isn't safe to drive the car without 5-6 point harnesses ALL the time. Head room is very limited on s-chasis and stock seatbelts allow too much movement in the event of an accident. If you're not strapped down properly you can bust your melon open on the cage. |

![]() ![]() It would appear another benefit of this type of brace is that it functions the same as an eccentric lock-out kit. ($90 bar vs. $60 lock-out)

I'm using both the eccentric lock-out kit from SPL Parts as well as the GT-SPEC lower tie brace and they fit excellently! ![]() |

Just wanted to share some savings with my fellow Zilvians! Pep Boys is having a promotion for 25% off online orders over $100 (& free shipping) and they happen to sell the DC Sports strut bars. They are the same exact ones that Matej has pictured on the very first page/post of this thread. I just ordered the rear bar for my S13 and paid exactly $87.44, tax included. Looks like the promotion ends 8/1/2014 so now's a great time to pick up one of these nice strut bars if you've been thinking about getting one. Also before any admeens/mods have a stroke, I don't work for Pep Boys and am not affiliated with them in any way.
Links, for your convenience ─ S13 front: http://www.pepboys.com/product/detai..._related_parts rear: http://www.pepboys.com/product/detai..._related_parts Sorry S14 guys, looks like they only have front for you ![]() http://www.pepboys.com/product/detai..._related_parts Have a great weekend everybody!

found a miracle cross bar for the s14 on upgarage today.. i didn't know they made them for 14's... maybe it's a typo? but it looks a little different from the well known s13 hatch item.
http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/sto...996/008?size=m i'll post some screenshots for posterity as this link's lifespan is inherently short. ![]() ![]()

I've seen the miracle crossbar for S14's before, it pretty much takes up the whole back seat area... It doesn't have the pretty fit on S14 like it does in a hatch, combine that, the hefty price tag and the fact it's a eye candy brace as much as it is functional, no one bought them so they stopped production very early.
