Thanks! Great for a daily/nice improvement although the ST is pretty good out of the box as a daily...over the last year I've had a Hyundai Veloster Turbo, BRZ, Chevy Sonic RS Turbo as daily's and the ST is by far the fastest/most sporty..

I came from a veloster also. The ST blows it out of the water. And not to detail this but how was the RS?

We didn't actually pay for ours, but there less than $20k at most dealerships. We actually just gutted it/getting it ready for a cage. Ray Piloto is going to campaign it in Rally America next year...

Glad it got there safely! We just finished another 6 point (actually converted Brian's to a 6 from 4 point) and test fit it on the car---the jig's good/verified about 7 units now so we're going to go live with them on the site's/stores/ebay etc...

The 4 point tie brace isn't out yet? And how do they differ from the 2 point one? I'm a novice when it comes to this stuff.

Can you use the 2 pt with the 4 pt?
Can you use the 2 pt with the 6 pt?

Hey guys---the 2 point ties the front control arms together and is actually the front part of both the 4 and 6 point---4 point is part of the 6 point if that makes sense---if you look at the pics of the 6 point you'll see the 4 and 2 points inside...I wanted to create some options for folks as not everyone has the same motorsports/performance goals/needs. I think Ford should have put a 2 point on every car made---many other companies use a brace from the factory---the front wheels in our cars do so very much---acceleration, turning and more than half the braking!!! If you put a go pro down there the poor crossmember get's worked!!!

I put this in another thread bit thought I'd drop it here as well:

For just spirited daily driving is the 6 pt or 4 pt brace for that matter worth it? Or will the 2 pt be fine? And I noticed different variations of bars for the veloster, like street and all that, are the fiesta ones like that too or just the one you've been showing in this thread?

I think the 2 point is fine/plenty for a daily. For autocross/track stuff the 4 and 6 points would be more appropriate---I think most folks will notice a nice improvement with any of the bars---the 6 point of course having the biggest benefit. Yes sir it's essentially the same design---we actually started it back in the early 90's with the BG chassis Mazda Prot?g?/Ford Escorts and developed the tubing sizes/wall thickness/design for the lightest/strongest designs/benefits..

That's great. Looks I'll be getting a 2 pt and bar!

Those two combined alone probably give a great deal better feel over stock, correct?

Yes sir, it's a nice improvement/gain---you get that gratification that you've done something good for your car!

My car is a DD. For me it is mostly spirited driving on narrow twisty roads.. Would getting both upper strut bar and lower 2 point tie bar lead to too much turn-in or over-kill?

Given an option to get just one, should I get the upper or lower?
