Hardbar
Purchased one from a forum member, and got it installed Sunday. Wow, what a difference, and that's without harnesses :lol: I feel it has really taken quite a bit of vibration out of my car, it definately cured squeaks and squiggles, and the car feels tighter over bumps and potholes. Gets a big :thumbs: from this owner!
Can't wait to get a camber brace and the other R-D racing goodies. I would have liked to purchase the harness bar from them, but my funds are limited.
I am definately happy with the hardbar though.

Re: Hardbar (JWG)
http://www.hardbar.net/harness_bar.htm This is the bar that I purchased. They are expensive, but you have to take into account the forces that would be applied to this piece in a crash. I bought it for the stiffening aspects, I have no intentions of putting a harness in my car(yet).

Re: Hardbar (castivers)
Can you retain use of stock seatbelts with the hardbar or do you have to switch to some kind of harness?

Also, The "Cross-bar" does stiffen the car as much as the "Hardbar", plus it allows full rearward seat movement.

Re: Hardbar (JCAIRE2)
The advantage of the R-D racing bar appears to be retention of stock belt mounting locations. I could be wrong, as I've never owned or even seen the R-D racing harness bar in person, but it doesn't look like it would lend itself to the stiffening I experienced.
