DESIGNING MY OWN CROSSBAR! need help

[xxae07xx]

im not sure what you mean. i have been sitting around drawing, measuring and brainstorming for a while if thats what you mean by design process and i was looking at miracles when i saw that most go from top rear to strut towers. so the idea is based on existing bars, just bars that arent for our cars

No it does not bolt anywhere nere the strut towers. The top bolts to the seat belt holes and the bottom bolts into the holes that the backseat bolts into. It also has a floor bar that ties the lower all together. I also added a megan c-pillar bar to the top for looks . Pic of my ride for reference

I think you're mixing two different bracing points that aren't going to work together. The shock towers are probably not going to work with the x-brace, but who knows. This is the reason they spend a bunch of money on CAD-CAM modeling to identify what will happen when you re-direct stress and forces within the chassis. You might be able to cross from opposite-side seatbelt upper mounts to the shock tower, but you might end-up flexing your body in undesireable ways.

In general, if it hasn't been done before, you probably need some engineering knowledge or be willing to guinea-pig your car.
Can you post a picture of the design you're wanting to emulate? That will help a lot in determining if it is compatible with our suspension/body design.
