    just remember those crap ebay ones are mostly useless... u can bend them in half by hand lol but theres plenty 4g bars out there that are good/semi good

    this is good work, if someone wants to try the 5th gen bars aswell on these mounts you can order one up and when your done send it to me LOL

    stick with like DC, megen, and neuspeed etc .. ebay bars dont really help its just all in peoples head because they added something to there car so they think it made a diffrence just like people that put a short ram intake on and then they think it made there car faster even though it didnt .

    if your going for looks then yes get a ebay bar but if you want something that actully helps get a real one

    Tdurr youre right about me having big plans, I dont want to get ahead of my self right now, because I need to setle down abit, as I mentioned that the workshop I can use now, I'll be in for about 3 weeks from this manday. So complete towerbars will be not now, not yet. But I want to make it happen for us.

    It be really good to have those measurements of DC bar, and better yet a trace of it, and a scan 1:1 and a reference scale on a side.
    I can post an example of what measurements I'll be needing tomorrow..

    Thanks everyone, You get me motivated
    i have a spare set of front dc mounts. i can send them to you so you have the real thing in front of you!!!! let me know. i am down to help ware ever i can.

    Ok, well there is no time to send those as I'm quiting here in short time, but if You get me drawings of it and a trace. It would be fastest. Shipping take 2 weeks, by that time I'm gone from here.
    If you can, take a A4 paper and trace foot plate on it, and then scan it on the computer and PM it to me, as well as hole diameter sizes and length of fastening plates, and hight. Here is mostly what I need, but the trace is important, as Plasma cutter is optical, it can trace the line.




    Messy tell me how much more room you need to clear B16 Intake= maybe I can make fastening plates a bit higher so it will clear.

    Dave, dont get to exited here bro I'm working on it now, I just got materials yesterday and soon I'll mas produce those, just hold on to that money for now.

    ok guys I need to run and do some stuff today, I will keep you all posted and updated.
