wondering if one is better then the other
is one know to be less quality
i plan on buying the front and rear bars
for my 02 cav ecotec
george
a bar is a bar for the most part. buy the best priced
i own a freedom desgin brace , and have installed a couple vibrants
my freedom fit very well , the vibrants ive seen fit like crap , and they didnt have enough length to them so they were barely secure with the ends where the adjustment bolts are
The freedom bars are built kinda cheap, but they still work.
My front Vibrant bar I liked but the rear bar didnt seem like it had enough length to it like 97cavie24ls(JDM&00s/c sedans™) said. Although it doesnt matter for me anymore since they arent on my car now hehe.
I have the Vibrant front and rears installed. I love them. Great quality. I didn't have a problem with the rear. Only problem I had was that I over tightened the rear nuts, and stripped the bolt. I'd suggest using a torque wrench on tightning the bolts, because it's extreamly easy to over tighten the bolt and strip the thread.
NeverEnoughtAuto may be having a Group buy for the vibrant struts bars soon. PM him to see if it's going to go through.
I had both Vibrant bars, the front fit like a charm but the rear didnt fit well at all
I now have a set of RSM bars and couldnt be happier

my freedom bar looks alot better than the vibrants , i even like it better than rk's rear brace
Looks wise, I like the RSM, MRZ, and Vibrant.
MRZ is cool because you can get a custom engraved logo.
And the RSM and MRZ are the only ones I've not tryed.
But a bar is a bar when not attached to the firewall +/-.
FD carbon fiber is nice, but they don't make those anymore.
If I had my choice of course custom all the way.
Get as many strut, firewall, fender edge, front hood edge ot whatever the heck I wanted to mount too.
But realistically, any of the bars are good.
And the Vibrant shoulnd't have any fitment issues.
Not for the front anyway.

Remember....syringes go in the RED waste basket.

im highly doubting the actual effectiveness of those crap adjustable length ones with hinges on the mounting points...the only ones i would trust are SOLID bars.... such as the one cavi just posted a pic of, or the GM one... i actualy got a GM one to take off my parts car that I will be selling soon... for as cheap as they go for, you cant realy beat it... unless ur just looking for looks.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.
I just bought a 20 inch widescreen ultrasharp flat pannel..I'm going to have to subscribe to the high quality porn places now......damn

Event tested the bars, and on a skid pad the differences were slim.
The adjustable ones can be preloaded, which if someone is autoxing, would be helpfull.
For someone who doesn't race though, a 1 piece would work just aswell as a properly installed adjustable one. The problem most people have with adjustable bars, is that they do not tighten them enough.
