Thumbs up ASM vs. ARC


Just want the forums opinion on this one.
Im debating in getting a ARC Ti strut or a ASM GT strut bar.
Which one is better?

Thanks, Alex

they are both expensive
I just wanted to see which one people like better, in regards to function, look, and "rareness".

function = go for the ASM because it is a 4 points instead of 2.

asm.

I have the t1r w/ the x-brace and I can feel a difference big time.
I've been told that w/o the x, they're just a place to put your hand when you're under the hood.

ASM, T1R, S2X = all virtually the same except name and price. Yes, that 4 point > 2 point, in terms of function.

ARC Ti = rarer, lighter, looks better, IMO.

Both (ASM & ARC) go for almost the same price used. So, its up to you Alex.

i'd avoid ti strut bars. ti flexes more than steel or aluminum. or at least in applications i know of. defeats the purpose of being a strut bar.
