nice james and david! my ASM doors should be in hawaii soon!

 

I was wondering when you are going to be getting those!

 

I can't wait to receive mine! Is yours the regular or short version? How long ago did ASM discontinue these bars?

 

They aren't discontinued to my knowledge. Still available new.

 

All ASM chassis braces are still available to order. Unfortunately neither Gotuning or ASM know when a new production run would be. They have to get enough orders in before they begin production of one part, which means you could be waiting along time and you might not get anything.

 

I have the ASM short GT bar. I love it, and not ever going to part with it.
I love the fact that this isn't a mass production item. you are paying for something that was hand crafted with real care about the product.

"The entire manufacturing process of each bar takes 4 hours so only 2 can be produced per day."

But do any of the braces actually make a noticeable improvement to the car?

 

From what I gather, the regular version of the bar is designed for cars that will not require steering rack spacers, which implies its designed use is for more street oriented vehicles that are lowered <2"

I'm running the OTS spec Ohlins, which means the car should only be ~1" lower.

 

had to remove the front gt bar steering rack stiffeners (dog bones) and rear gt frame bar for my karcepts fsb and rsb (aka magic bars ) it was definitely worth it!

Did you pass on the ASM sway bars? I gave up on waiting for ASM to make them and went with Hardrace/Megan racing sway bars instead and saved almost $600. Since you removed the ASM rear lower bar GT, are you going to get a ASM GT-S rear lower arm bar?
