Hello Guys

I´m From Brazil and i bought a brand new OEM Ek9 front upper strut bar

I believe there is no other ek9 bar in Brazil except mine and i didn´t realize how much stronger this ek9 bar is compared to the ek4 one

Here´s some pics

Huh. Never realized they were different, always thought the paint was the only thing that separated them. Good thing I have the EK9 bar. :D
 
I have an ek9 bar going cheap of anyone's interested.

x2 I thought they were basically the same....
 
The bracing these provide is minimal. Braces that attach to the suspension struts are more effective.

you make a good point,
but while that is true a complete suspension system makes the chassis solid. that includes the upper strut bar too.
 
I have an ek4 and I tried 3 settings, the stock strutbar (duh), no strutbar and ITR strutbar....you will feel the difference very good when cornering at speed, no surprise that I left the ITR one on my car...
 
i´m using tokico illumina + eibach ground control on my ek4.

Feeling a lot better with the ek9 bar than the ek4 one. I can assure you that!
