j's racing monocoque bar and c-pillar bar..

i read that the monocoque bar can be the rear re-bar for those using jdm bumpers. also, it stiffens up the chassis.

so I can rock a JDM bumper if I get that bar? Cool. Do you feel a difference back there?

jS racing monocoque bar is one of the biggest waste mod I will ever touch.

js racing bar is just too thin it does nothing...purely wanna make $ from customers.

Personally I prefer Summit Racing rear bumper support bar made from lightweight alluminum and its very thick as well. Carbing rear lower bar also does the job.

yep i have one on my car too. does nothing performance wise, but it gives me peace of mind to know that if i get rear ended, it wont do as much damage as without it.

nice mod. i guess you bought something from aj-racing sale today. i did to

you save some weight in the rear. i really be to scared to do this upgrade. i really don't think it would do much if you got rear ended. it might work in a mph crash

the j's bar would crumble in a crash. it does not stiffen up the chassis.
the OEM crash bar is more solid than that.

good upgrade for JDM rear bumper though
