Its not just the material they use but also the hardening process that is done to the bar or tube to give it it's stiffness.

Hey Alex...I see you posting on Drifting.com. If you have enough time to post there, you can post here as well. hahahaha

Hopefully, I'll pick up a set of your Battle Version Traction Links and Toe Links soon. Are you going to develop more parts for the SC? Reason being is Tanabe is planning to make some more parts for the SC now. And Titan Motorsports has rear control arms. (http://www.titanmotorsports.com/timorecoarmk.html)

Yeah, I know. I dont have much time now adays to play around in the forums anymore.

When I first came to clublexus, most people where worried about what size speakers they had, or fixing the needle on their guages, or what size wheels will fit. There where only a few people with turbo kits or anything more than an intake and exaust.

I've noticed laitly that there are more and more people looking for performance out of thier sc's so i'll probably stop by more often.

Those rear upper arms look interesting. First time i've seen them.

I have made custom arms for many cars but found out early on that they dont sell all that well if i put them on the market. Its a cool peice but there arent that many customers looking for all out suspension arms that cost that much. So now I have a shelf of leftover custom peices that I havent been able to get what I payed for them. O well, I'll use them one day. In fact when I looked at that pic of those arms, I was just thinking that I had the parts to make those arms and make them even better then the ones they have. Sorry guys but untill I get more free time or start to build my car, making anything new for the sc's or mkvi's will have to wait.

What about tower bars? The Otto racing strut bar on luxurymods.com is only 75, its just not as pretty as all the others. Wouldnt it do just as good as a job as the polished aluminum JIC? Im ballin on a budget here

Where did you get your Daizen front and rear sway bars for $350? That sounds like a good deal. I can only find them for $499.

I use a TT rear bar as the price was right, and it is a good match for the TT springs, street tires on a daily driver in all weather.

I am real happy with the MKIV TT sway bars. They are commonly available for like $80 for a set, can you spell dirt cheap, big return upgrade. As for the one's costing five times as much, well, I for one would have hard time pushing the envelope far enough to tell you what the difference is.
