Awesome, I wondered about body flex especially since it is a convertible. I will be ordering this product. Is there a noticeable difference in handling??
And how about a bar in the front under the hood?? I know it is tight and the engine sits high. I love new product! ![]() |

Yes you can notice especially when you are pushing the car around turns. Its a great looking bar, we are very happy with the finished product. We have had a lot of people pre-order this product so I am sure they will be having their first impressions of the bar in the next few days.
We have been looking at a lot of new suspension offerings for the car to help you all out on the street, autox, or at the track.

It works with our KS1 and KS2 exhaust, stock exhaust, and Magnaflow exhaust. We haven't tested it on Skys with other exhausts yet.
We debated between red and black for the powder coating of the bar. It looks really nice in person peaking out from under the car, but maybe you have another color in mind. While we arent doing different colors, you could get one and take it to a local powder coater. They would probably sand blast the red coat off and recoat it to your liking.

does this rebar take the place of the rear sway, or assists it in stiffening up the rear?

This piece was design to improve handling by decreasing chassis flex and should not be used to tow anything. I dont know of any trailer hitches that function to improve chassis rigidity.

Not sure if this price will be available in a month or not. We do not have a specific end date in mind yet. We are waiting to see how the market reacts!

Good question, the reBAR does not replace any bars on the car but is a new additional bar designed to strengthen the rear end of the car. The reBAR is different then the rear sway bar, but does assist the rear sway bar. The sway bars connect the right and left wheels to increase the suspension's roll stiffness. The sway bar acts as a torsional spring that resists body roll and keeps your car flatter around turns. The reBAR acts more like a lower tie bar or a strut bar.

I realy like the color choice also.
I just had the RPi Exhaust installed and am wondering if it will work with it? Also where does this attach to? Is there any drilling or fabrication that would need to be done to install this bar?
