JDM Re-Bar anyone?

Post by thusee » Fri Mar 17, 2017 7:13 pm

Anyone here using the JDM Rebar?

Not sure what your preludes come with if its the same as ours or the thin ones from japan, if you do do you notice a difference? I know there is a 30-40lb difference and is it worth doing the swap?

My car is not a daily, I probably put on about 100 km each month at most and mainly going to be focused on Track use going forward.

Thanks for any advice!

Stole this pic from another forum for reference:

success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm :D :D

The one on my car the tabs are all bent up, previous owner bent up the tabs to hold the headlights in place because the headlight tabs were broken.

So i need to replace the bar regardless LOL.....

EDM preludes also have the bar like the top one, at least that's what I have and had to change after the crash. :/
