So basically, any word on whether BATs bar has lead to similar bracket failures..??





The smaller bar may cause problems down the road, and you should keep this in the back of your mind. Since this is in the autox forum though, I'll put in my $0.02 --> I wouldn't want the bigger bar. The 21mm BAT bar coupled with the H&R's makes the car incredibly neutral. I would fear that on course, the Aussie bar would induce oversteer, and I'd rather be able to lift to turn a car that is pushing rather than fight oversteer all day long.
