Help Deciding New Front Bar

[yaface]

Hi all. I'm on the hunt for a new front bar for my s1 r33. I currently have a top secret bar which is in need of replacing but the problem I experienced with this particular front bar is that it scrapes quite often. My car isn't lowered at all and it appears to be from the massive lip these bars have. Any recommendations for a front bar that looks the goods and is less likely to scrape?? Cheers.

have a look at www.carmate.com

im looking for a new kit aswell. i have the same as their T Style front bar, same problem as u... not too low, but still scrapes. im still gonna get a new 1 the same... i like it too much

I suggest you get the Do Luck kit...looks trick as...but if you want something simple and has a classic look, get the GTR Front Bar...

Hm I don't think I'd be doing the car justice by putting a gtr front, even though they look hot. The do luck isn't too bad. No scraping problems? JCaSs1001, be weary of carmate products. I've had friends who've been caught out by some of their products before

whatever you do, dont go the do luck if your worried about height, i recently installed a do luck and it came out far and sat low, i couldnt even get up my slight inclide drive, i switched to a 400R kit and havnt regretted it, its nice and practicle, sure it might scrape here and there but my car is lowered to so it can play that field to!

Thanks for the heads up mate. Will look into a 400r front & if it's gonna suit my car

400r's quite low as well mate, I got 1 on and it's already got a big crack on one side. Looks the goods though

i had a 400r bar and now have a gtr bar and couldn't be happier... i run the car @ 330mm centre to guard

Is your GTR bar a rea lone or a copy designed to fit the r33 joey ? Is there decent urethane stuff out there ??

Dont touch carmate, quality is crap, fitment is way off got my from bar from them

As for kits the Do-Luck, 400R, Trust all sit low and on some driveways can scrape even with a car thats not lowered,

I got the TR Front bar, fitment was alright at the front apart from under drivers light there is a bad as gap...now my car was lowered like half an inch when coilovers were put in and cant get up a driveway with that bar...

MS Sports maybe

There is the JUN Kit, but preferably dont like it

Id go Do-Luck kit but thats just me

its a gtr bar for gtst in fibreglass....

the stock gtr bar can be made to fit, but you may need to pull your guards a lil

s1 style but opened up a bit more. if not there are a couple others on the site.

www.uniqueautosports.com

cant vouch for their quality though

[JCaSs1001]

my T style (like carmates) bar does scrap, especially when it was as low as i bought it... but as long as i turned on an angle it wouldnt touch...

thanx for the heads up about carmate.com ShyBoi!! ne 1seen the same bar in melbourne or another shop??? unique autos is pretty expensive by the looks of their site...

Thanks for the info guys. It's helping heaps! Btw, I'm in brisbane but I've heard good things about uas. Bit pricey on some items though.
