Kinda like an adjustable RMM/APC strut bar, except the ends are black.

looks like the best in terms of looks out of all of them. Hows it perform compared to the RMM and other strut bars?

so its stiff and handles great? is that the conclusion? I need it to be stiff like the rmm, because a lot of the three piece stut bars i've seen when you press against it the bar has lots of room to move. The rmm is solid. IS the tanabe solid?

The only other one that would be stiff like the RMM/APC is APR. It's bar uses two bolts installed vertically, instead of one horizontally like the Tanabe and others, so there won't be any movement at all when you tug at it.

so you saying this is just more of a show bar and its not stiff nor does it improve performance? YEa?

the tanabe does improve handling. it is three piece, but as long as you put it on well, it will be just as stiff as a one piece bar.

Have you used both b4? RMM and tanbe?
