Beatrush Products

I was browsing Kamispeed for suspension parts and came across two products by Beatrush - their front strut bar and c-pillar bar.

I was wondering if anyone has these and could give a review on them. The front strut bar fits overtop the OEM front strut, I noticed.

i recently read something about the "hinged" strut tower bars...if they are hinged...they should move...thus not providing extra support as a solid bar would...Just a thought...

Yep anything with a flex joint has potential for slippage.

neither of which are worth it..
the you can get the mugen repilca front bar and as mentioned will serve you better since its a solid one peice design..

the only thing about the beatrush c-pillar bar that is attractive is that it bends further towards the trunk of the car.. thus allowing rear passengers with a less likelihood of having their heads smashed in

PM K20ADC5R, i think he has some beatrush products. the posts he made no longer exist.

Here's something about strut bars:
http://www.jdm-option.com/eng/pr_CUSCO/towerbar.html

The strut bars with hinges will provide the same effect as those without. The pressure and stress is not affected by the hinge due to the fact that stress is spread throughout the bar. The main thing to look at when buying a strut bar is the quality of the material, the thickness of bar, and those with hinges (the thickness and strength that unites bar and mount).

Please know that most manufacturers make strut bars with hinges due to the fact that as the car ages and its driven hard, the chassis of the car tends to distort. This will make installation of a welded one piece very hard, sometimes impossible depending on distortion of chassis. With a hinge one this won't be an issue and chassis distortion will be reduced and balanced no matter how distorted the chassis is. Check out the link on top; very helpful.

I recommend Beatrush or Cusco. Both are great with lots of track experience to back up there R&D.

I understand Beatrush is a very reputable JDM company, particularly on parts for Evos.

Yeah, definitely.

I helped a friend install/remove a Carbing front strut bar for a SC300. Jesus, that was a bitch. Makes me think twice about buying the solid Cusco titanium front strut.

<-- Authentic Cusco front strut represent :)

I have their floor bar and their c-pillar bar, to be completely honest, I can't say I felt a huge difference really while driving the car. Though I did feel something as it seemed (or was it all in my head) that the car was a bit stiffer going over bumps. That would of been the floor bar I imagine as it is a bit beefy.

In a way with my rear gutted out, I think I would rather have a straight bar going across the c-pillar, but that can always be changed out one day or if I ever happen to go monkey caging.:) If you are keeping your rear in place, for sure it was well thought out as the passengers will have a less likely chance of coming in contact with it. The quality of the pieces are nice, although I had to contact Laile about my first floor bar, somebody didn't do a very good QC check and it was mounted upside down. A quick email and in less than 2 days I had another bar at my door and a free t-shirt as well. Another piece I am interested in from Laile(Beatrush) is their front undertray. I guess one could easily fab one up with a sheet of aluminum, but for those that don't have the time or patience, it would be a nice pickup.
