Experience with Blitz or J's Racing front tower bar

[edido]

Hi,

I am looking at Blitz and J's Racing front tower bars. Trying to stay under $300 budget. I like how they look. I read about front tower bar impact / need for FL5 in other forums, and not trying to start another discussion about it.

If you have Blitz and J's Racing installed for a while, please share your experience. If you have other bar that looks similar (except for Cusco), please drop a line.


Thanks!

i have the blitz front tower bar and it looks nice but it feels soft. thought about switching to the j's racing front and rear tower bars but also bought the whole cusco under chassis stiffeners so the cars already gonna be stiff as hell. id be interested in knowing a little about the j's racing tower bar

I ordered J's Racing. Will share my experience in a few weeks.

For your information, there is now an HKS front strut tower bar as well. It's a good-looking part.

Nice, but the price is in a different league.

It's spendy but can be had for $1,250 shipped from BHJ. It's also decently priced relative to the Amuse R1 Titan piece, which is insanely priced IMHO. I get that it's handcrafted, titanium, limited quantity, etc. The CARBING titanium front strut tower brace is also decently priced at under $1,000 shipped. Good options and palatable pricing, to me, if you're looking for a rare piece and/or unconventional design. I really like the CARBING piece, looks super clean.

Im sure its much cheaper on Black Hawk Japan, just showing the high price of it.

I dig the SiriMoto Carbon strut bar, looks good too and its like far less than a lot of the offerings out there.

1700 is alot for a part that is universally known to be more eye candy than providing much of any real performance benefit.

But alas as a JDM car enthusiast, I live for these kind of dumb decisions!

Haven’t done one yet, but the Origin Fab titanium brace is the one I plan to get. Looks awesome, and the quality seems to be top notch.

The Origin titanium brace is absolutely awesome and the look is just top notch with the TSP titanium nuts to finish it off. Also, this piece runs closer to the firewall than most others which makes battery replacement a breeze .......... ;-)

Anyone can point me to torque specs for J’s Racing strut tower? Mystery…

Strut bars are usually torqued to factory specs.
