first off..

YES I DID SEARCH!



well ok now to the topic, well it's a simple question. does anyone have a review on the ebay c pillar bars? they are dirt cheap, and well they are the only C Pillar Bars i've found for a hatchback.

that's the one i had in mind, to be specific.

 

no. gay. make one yourself, get some piping from homedepot/orchard/lowes and torch the ends and smash them flat. bend and mount. it will work a lot better and it will be cheaper.

 

wat would you use to mount it? i've been thinking about making my own too but haven't thought of a good way to mount it without having to fab up a bracket as pictured in the ebay link.

 

you drill holes in the hammered down ends to mount them to the seat belt mounting points.

 

i would go ahead and buy it its only 20 bucks and looks alot better than some rigged up **** and is alot less work

 

yea, too bad it dosent do ****.

 

how would it not do anything? just wondering...

isn't it both the same thing? since you still have to hammer the part and drill the hole?

well anyways i got some piping today haha, for FREE! gotta love old friends from high school!

but yeah, we'll see how it comes out and if i notice a difference from having this bar...

 

i really dont see it serving enough of a purpose to make up for the obstructed view from inside the cabin

 

it would work the same either way theyre both solid bars

 

believe what you want. but that is not a solid bar.

 

^^^ not only is what he says true ^^^ but the mounting brackets on either end, the steel or whatever is really thin. plus, half the fun of having a "tuner" car is building whatever you can urself. just my two pennies.

 

well wut type of pipng did you use

 

steel. cuz my crappy arc welder only welds steel, not that you need to weld anything for this c pillar bar to function normally but steel is stronger than aluminum, although it is heavier.

 

do you have any pics of yours ayu? done any strut bars?

 

I got one for my coupe. Can't say that it makes much of a performance difference though. I did read somewhere that it makes more of a difference on a hatch than a coupe.
