ok so i have already on my car tein h-tecs and the trd rear sway bar i have my greddy front strut bar on the way from cali and ijust order the megan c-piller bar. my question is has anyone installed one in there car and do u have pics? could u tell any performance gains. i figured it would help stiffin up the car more and any imput would help.

 

what the h*** is a c-pillar bar....

 

its bar thats suposed to connect to the rear seatbelt bolts and its suposed to stiffin up the car

 

The only pic I've seen for it is on the website.

But I can't tell if that will effect the rear seats. Since you got it, can you let me know if it makes the rear seats completely useless for passagers or not?

Or if you have pics from your installation, that would be nice as well. Cuz I was thinking about getting it, but I can't be sure that I won't have backseat drivers in my car.

 

mmm

 

the car in the picture doesn't have back seats not because of the cpillar bar, but because it's been stripped down for racing.

The C Pillar bar allows you to keep the rear seat of course, now, if you seat a tall person in the back (does who their head reach the rear window)... then those are going to hate to ride in the back of your car...

plus, this bar would only help you at really high speed cornering, not worth it if you just want it for a DD... unless you'll use it for shows... and time attack events of course.

 

i dont have my rear seats in my car and i tried the c-pillar bar it does nothing its mainly just for looks i havent noticed any gain from it at all to be honest... i does look kool though but yea its kinda anoying to always have a bar everytime u look back so i sold it on ebay for 90 bucks a while back =/

 

i honestly believe that it is just for looks and will hardly give any worthwhile gains.

do you really want to be looking at a shiny metal bar everytime you look in your rear view mirror?

also, if your into performance, go for some more performance oriented springs, such as h&r or eibach, Tein doesnt make any performance springs.

 

just got the bar in. going to install it as soon as i can. will up load pics and everything. and tell you how the install went. the reason i went with the h-tecs is that i have the entrence from hell at both my jobs and i could not lower it anymore. next is struts.

 

the whole point of having a c-pillar bar would be for safety, not bracing. You route your harness through there. And since it's a crucial and integral part of the harness system, you'll want to use a bar the utilizes the same bolts that hold the stock seat belts in place. That megan job is worthless.
