Oh, don't mind me.....it's just 3:57 am EST on a Friday and I'm checking back in to see if I missed anything on the FSTB updates. :)
No updates yet, full focus right now is getting the turbo inlet pipes completed to start shipping those in the coming weeks.

27WON Performance selected a handful of people and myself to beta test their new strut bar..

Packaging was excellent, inside the box was the black powered coated strut bar and a Honda extended battery cable to replace the stock one for clearance purposes

Install is super easy, 14mm socket for the nuts holding the strut bar (3/side) and a 10mm socket for the 2 battery cable bolts

Clearance is much better than my previous bar as this one sits slightly lower in the engine bay. I have a flex fuel kit and catch can and didn’t have to modify anything else to get this on.



Initial thoughts from my first drive while they are fresh in my head:

Fairly laid back 20 minute drive home.....hit a couple nice “s” curves and a roundabout at a decent pace.

Thought I would need to be really pushing hard to feel the bar working, but I was very wrong...this is not like my previous SiriMotor bar which I’m finding out was pretty much useless other than for looks compared to the 27Won. Just driving out of my subdivision I could feel the rigidity this bar was putting out.

I feel like I’m going to have to relearn the steering a bit, every input I was giving it was more than it needed to go where I wanted it to. The car tracked very well through corners, much less body roll and weight transfer. And the wheels felt planted no matter what I was doing.

The NVH of the ride might be just a touch more than what I had before, but nothing to be alarmed about, could’ve even been my imagination trying to find something wrong with it...which I was not successful at doing.

You can tell you put the effort into the design to make this something more than a cosmetic gimmick, cannot wait to get this on the AutoX track and see what it feels like there when I’m really pushing it

Nice!

Wonder how the bracket under bar in front of the brake reservoir is used to triangulate for further support?

Probably blue locktite can satisfied to ensure fastener stays in place. Personally, need the bar in hand so I can design and machine four custom flange step fastener so I can sleep at night - this is just me being anal and not to put down 27WON.

Beautiful design along with nice weld, however.

I am sure it is gonna be another 27WON success!!

The bracket is the secret sauce, its for a future master cylinder brace.

Any ball parks on the price of this when it is mass released? I'm not trying to hold you to a firm figure, just seeing where it fits in price wise with the competition.

I can tell you from the R&D we put into it that this bar performs and will fall on the more premium end of the price scale.

I'm totally with you, Vincent! I come from the BMW world and all too well know that I would rather pay a premium for a top quality part than be frustrated with junk. As long as it's not priced in its weight in gold bars I plan to buy it when it becomes available. :)

Are the slotted holes adequate to support having the strut towers pushed as far negative as they go?

I got -0.9 on both sides on the alignment rack by pushing them all the way in and it substantially helped front traction in corners. I don't want to have to move them back out again to fit the bar.

I've heard some bars require you to also heat wrap some of the tubing/cables that might come in contact with the bar. Has this been taken into consideration/will the product include a heat wrap?

Looks nice :D will be watching for release and pricing. I like the black coating and design much better than the one I currently have on my hatch.
