Dan thanks for posting this up for me. I'll find out the freight cost is tomorrow. I'm defiantly getting one It's freight free as it's being shipped by Sparco with a heap of stuff for Clipsal500. I'll update with the freight cost. Here's a pic of the bar installed...

Cheers
Angelo

At the moment, from what I've read from NECO is that some people are up in the air as to whether these Strut Bars make any difference (except cosmetically) at all...

From what I've gathered, the Freedom Design and JDM bars aren't too good, and even have clearance issues under the bonnet... the bar that does get good reviews is the OMP (?) or Sparco bar, the one pictured. I still think I'd like to get one, maybe paint it a different colour though cos I don't think the red is gonna work too well with my colour pallete.

I notice it also appears to be adjustable?

Dan

Yep the bar is adjustable and as you know Dan I've ordered it! I'll let you all know what it's like in a couple of weeks.

Also freight to SA is approx AUD60 then shipping to syd/mel approx AUD10-15 extra. I've already checked for Dan and they wont ship directly and it's no hassle for me to forward them from the shop here.

Well you guys can get them at any time it's just you'll need to pay the freight/shipping costs which isn't too bad.

Anyway wait for an update...... there's more than one :evilsasmo


Cheers

Will await your findings Angelo, and probably end up getting one myself.

... and obviously would suggest a new topic for your upcoming umm...stuff.
