Will you be supplying test data to show how much deflection the chassis experiences with and without the stress bar?

 

Nope, but you're more than welcome to perform said test.

Do you believe there is significant flex (hence the need for such a product) or is it strictly for looks?

 

Andy,

The flex on the MC/MCS under normal driving conditions is minimal, and this bar won't do much but look good under 90% of the driving that the car will see. I do, however, believe that under heavy lateral loads such as those seen at autocross, track, and pushing the car to its limits on the streets, this bar will make a difference. On all of my cars with STB's, I didn't notice much of anything until I was really pushing it (favorite decreasing radius onramps/offramps, autox, etc.).

For those who don't push the car hard, the bar will sure look purdy.
