C-Pillar bars

Hey guys. I was wondering about C-pillar bars. How do these 2 bars C - Pillar Bar 2007-2008 Honda Fit - P/N: CBP-CV92 HondaFittuner.com :: Suspension compare to lets say the J's and T1R bar. What do you think about them. Obviously price, and I'm sure there are quality differences. But my Fit is just a DD semi-spirited driver, no autox or anything. You guys think these bars would snap on me from just daily driving? I'm just mostly concerned about fitment issues. Any info is much appreciated, Thanks!

megan doesnt make any strut tower/c pillar bars for the fit. I did all the R&D for them and they didnt make those products.

yeah i looked for it right now and couldnt find it. Actually my current suspension setup are springs, front strut, and RSB. Would i feel more performance adding a C-pillar bar or a rear strut bar?

The only C-pillar bar Ill suggest is the Beatrush. You can hang on it and it wont bend.
All the rest of the C-pillars out there are cheap and flimsy.

the ones at advancespeedshop you need to modify the rear panel, since the mounting points on it are wider than the opening for the bolt for the seat belt.

after looking at the pictures... they might be the same bar...

you still need to shave off some of the panel because the metal where you run the bolt through, is wider than the opening for the bolt for the seat belt bolt. the bar itself fits, its just the mounting plate is larger than the opening

yeah you're right. Thats why i wanted to know if it was any good(being 18 bucks and all). So it must be super flimsy or not a direct fit. But that makes alot more sense. Thanks for the info!

i wouldn't say its "super" flimsy, but its not super stiff, but 18 bucks vs 140 or so for a more expensive one...
