Thoughts on these?

Looks like both Summit & CarID have them, about $100.00. I like them over the basic thin metal types but not sure the price is worth it. NM's bars come with similar ones, recently updated with the zerks, so I'm also wondering if folks think it'd be a better value over the H-Sport because of it or is it worth the extra to stick with the H-Sport?

NM - $280.00
H-Sport Comp w/ billets extra - $320.00

 

I have the NM 22mm and am very happy with it. Also have the H-sport rear camber links. Don't think you could go wrong with either. Both companies make great products.

 

As a H-sport (25mm) owner - they have "thin" (well, thicker than stock, but just mainly larger) brackets that are just "bigger" versions of the stock design -

Given how close the bar sits to the body/subframe I don't think you would be able to physically fit those larger mounts in place of the stock locations. I'm not sure it would be a possible upgrade - or even worthwhile. Its not like the larger bars are known for stretching or tearing mounts out. My H-sport mounts are pretty much at the limit of what could fit back there.

 

Thanks. I've read it's a pretty close fit as-is with the Comps. I didn't know if the area these are in would be impacted, or if there've been reliability issues with the usual ones that could make it worth trying to squeeze in.

 

Money burning a hole in your pocket?

The regular stamped brackets the come with the H-sport bars work perfectly fine even in a road race application. They'll find any way to reinvent the wheel to take more of your money

 

A bit, but not for these. I've just seen some of the thinner type brackets my dad's taken off cars when I was younger and they were trashed if not broken. No experience yet with them personally so was wondering, especially with two companies now going with the billet as an option.

 

They might start to rust out in 15 years, but by that time you'll have a different car.
