Does this thing even work? It doesn't seem like the chassis would flex longitudinally much anyway? Except maybe braking or something. --------------------  |

Popular with the ricers here. Good way to waste $26.99. Will do sod all to improve the handling etc of your car.

It helps mid section flex, the thing is the flex isn't in that area as much as midway up the body, it's a good concept but wrong location. I vote useless gimmick.

Not only are the harnesses supposed to not be mounted so that the back straps are vertical, but I wouldn't trust that bar would hold a harness anyway in an accident. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
