Re; Upper and lower stress bars

["Joe" <scirocco@ftn.net>]

My experience with these items is as follows:

Both my Sciroccos have them On my beater car, Second Wind, I was forced
into a curb at a mall. The A-arm was bent back about two inches. But no
frame damage! This was solely due to an Autotech lower stress bar. The
alignment shop has seem similar damage, that req.'s frame straightening.
 Arctic Wind has the full Autotech lower subframe. A lot beefier, but for
normal street use, perhaps overkill.
I Use the Autotech upper bar for two reasons: the center span can be easily
removed. This makes engine maint a lot easier. Second, the aluminum
polishes so easily when showing your car. The other upper bars are of a
fixed length. My friend who has autox'd and road raced, likes the Autotech
because of the adjustability. He can really tighten the chassis if needed.
Anyway, my two cents.
