Never had problems at all

definitly bang for buck, i picked up a set of 3 point front and 2 point rear and i didnt think i would notice any difference as i have done most of the rest of my suspension. but it made a big difference in stiffness and responsiveness all around. the car is so stiff now you can jsut feel it i love it tho.

I've always wondered how the front carbing 2 point bar compared to the front Ultra racing 3 point bar?

i.e. The strongest 2 point bar vs the 3?

3 point is alot stronger. You notice the difference. Its even tough to put on at times LOL,
I've got the Ultra racing ones also

I'm running Ultra Racing 2 Point Front + 2 Point Rear.

They look good and they make a descent difference. Better then those cheap Ebay ones which is just a flimsy allum rod. haha

I'm using one of their products on my car, fitted nicely with no issues but a few of my friends who have them had problems fitting them as they did not line up properly or too short.

Other than that, it's BFYB coming from a Carbing Copy company in Malaysia.

Does that mean more vibrations? I'm just not sure if it will make the front end too stiff...it's good now,but I guess you won't know if it's better unless you try it.

haha,so true Jase,I had one of those crap job's in there for ages,it fully bent,the back one 2!!

nah didn't notice any vibrations at all, and i've got the 3 point one. Its hard to line up the first time & you need 2 people to put it on.

Excellent and all the holes/bolts are there,no drilling?

I will have to upgrade in the future!

nope all lined up perfectly, you need to remove the bracket on the firewall and up the bar in first. Also Ek cars be careful with that little filter thingy on the emmissions on the intake manifold. I broke mine by accident when we put it in

Thanks Limbo,the rear 4pt looks great to but I couldn't see that being stonger than my aliminium carbing 2pt bar,simply cause the carbing bar does not bend...

What do you think?

i dont think it would be worth upgrading from your carbing one unless you got a full X bar or something....

the 3 point is definitly great, it was hard to put in and i had to use a big screwdriver or my socket extension to leverage it into place but i managed on my own.

jacking up the car helps install the 3 point braces!!

dunno about the rear, i've only got the front.
Yeah if your by yourself you can use a large flathead to lever things in

yeh man I've got the 3 point in my car.. it's easy to put in.. usually it doesnt line up. so you just gotta use a screw driver to lever the ends so the holes line up.

out of curiousity, i understand that jdm yard shift performance etc, has EK/EG 3 point strut bars,
my question is, are they 100% the same strut bars? or 2 differnt 3 point strut bars for each car?

thanks in advanced:)

IMO get 3 point front.. a friend has the 3 pt and its much more stable than the 2 point although still the 2pt is a good bang for buck which is what I got

I have been thinking about this one for a couple of weeks and it really comes down to how stiff you want/like/need your car.
