Anyone tried the sage tower strut bar?
 
e-bay is selling tower strut bars from a company called Sage Racing (they also make camber correction hardware, LCAs, etc.)

Here is a picture:

Dont see how it could be any different then the other 1000+ strut bars out there. Nice looking though with the cf wrap.

copperfox 09-27-2004 08:09 AM

it goes for "$75.-95." before shipping... what makes you think that it is only wrapped in cf?
Also, it's straight and not bent like most others. It also seems to have high quality joints, like the skunk2 bar.

For that cheap it surely isnt made of cf. Just a skin over metal. IMHO the only good strut bars are one piece.

if the manufacture didnt horribly overprice it like most people who make carbon fiber items do, then they could sell it that cheap.

The reason carbon is so expensive is purely on the fact that its so trendy right now, if it wasnt for that it'd be much cheaper.

Need better pics to give an opinion.

Need close up of CF.

Not all CF is created equal. There IS a difference between a Spoon CF weave and a no name weave.

Not all strut bars are created equal. Need to know if there are hinges/slots.

IMO mine would be much better since its all one piece and doesn't have hinges like the one you are showing

I'm too lazy to drill out those 4 holes and buy the hardware. I'll probably end up buying the skunk2 bar.

You might not have to drill out the holes, check to see if you car is pre-drilled and covered with grommets.

taking the extra 30 min to drill holes and buying under $5 worth of hardware is worth the actual performance gains you will gain from a good OEM or mugen ONE piece bar
