We charged $150 plus shipping for the 240sx bars, and sold out of our first batch of 10 in 2 weeks. I am working on another batch of 15. On those each bar requires 4 bends which equals more time per p...

Has anyone here used the MSD boost timing controller in conjunction with the SAFC on a turbo 5s? If so, what type of numbers were you able to achieve over just the SAFC?

Hello fellow 6g owners. I was wondering if the rear strut tower bars are the same for the coupe and the hatchback. Also, is there a difference between the GT and ST strut bars?
