Autopower roll bars

If you want to increase stiffness, get the race bar with the cross brace to triangulate.

I've just driven around town so far, I won't really know if it did anything until next track day. I suppose it should prevent flexing a little, but the X brace in back already helps a lot with that.

Maybe Jason can chime in whether he thinks the street version does any stiffening at all.

Glad to see the bar fit. I can't help but be reminded of paint hiding under the wrap on our car when I see the color you chose.

I don't think any modern car has much to gain from bolting anything on/in it. The biggest area for flex is all the sloppy rubber bushings that attach the suspension to the chassis. The only reason I would ever bolt any kind of bar into the car is for safety - if it's not going to protect me it's just extra weight.
