Fixed mount points and solid circular bar construction.

My DC does ok but I do notice a bit of roll in the heavy corners. The Neuspeed is a bitch to get on sometimes but it definitley is worth the minor pain in the tail.

Well for the 5th gen, where it bolts to the firewall there is a large flat surface long enough for the 4 bolts. On my 4gen that we tried to mount his bar there is only a small area abuot 2 inches and then it curves back. So i think the plans are to first see how the 5gen sells and how people like it compared to DC and Neuspeed bar, and then fabricate a different mounting bracket to the firewall and such.

I have both the Neuspeed and TL-S bar. No complaints from me.

If you have a 6th gen then the tl-s would be the biggest bang for the buck. For around $50 you get a strut bar that fits great and pics up the struts and "firewall" mounts.
