Indeed you are correct! That was my point!
But as soon as I said Eibach, you got all excited. I just don't get why people insult other brands when there is no proof that they aren't as good. That's is all!
MY recollection is TTR was first out before even Eibach and so they got good reviews. Then OTTP has recently followed suite, and OTTP has been great to the balt community and is therefore respected. But it by no means represent that anything else is bad.
I honestly wish there was a legit comparison. Would really be fun to see!

Ive seen all the pics from the thread, but I was looking for more of the end pieces that bolt up.
made from military specification chromoly steel tube
ogc - yup I read that review a couple times now over the last week. It was one of the factors that helped decide to get the hardcore bar.

It's not a game Drew. I just cleared up a discrepancy.
Stiner, I by no means said the OTTP wasn't any good. Neither did I say the Eibach was better. I stated the fact that the forming process was similar. And not hot-formed as others implied.
Pull your pants back up!
And Race proven doesn't mean it's worth more (it's a selling feature, but not a reason to double the profit). The price should sincerely reflect the cost of material and forming! Every one else is within a 10$ difference. I'm interested in the OTTP, but with shipping to Canada, I just can't justify it.
As for the Hardcore bar... I still need to drive car in snow, and the Hardcore would be a recipe for disaster. It's not about ego's, "hey my bar is stronger than yours", it's about functionality VS cost.
Bigger is not always better! Too big will create too much oversteer! Especially on an otherwise stock car. Yes it works on the Time Attack cars, but did you not read the list of mods involved??? Full suspension, knucles, hubs, axles, mounts, traction bars and alot more! Throwing an otherwise huge rear bar without considering anything else, will tend to kick your rear end out. A little understeer is safer.
Some good info:

All this stuff is currently on my car. works fine. LSJfBody has the first iteration of rear twb from time attack along with most of the mods I have mentioned here.
at calabogie the 1.25 bar works fine for me.
the rear bar just doesnt change roll stiffness it also changes the roll center.
eibach sway bars are properly made no doubt. Their tuning is up the folks who want that level of roll stiffness. I suggest that any one interested in buying arb fro their cars just check the material specs of the different sway bars for sale to make an informed decision as to what is best for your car...
I had emailed OTTP and well when was that...last week I think and they were suppose to receive the hardcore bars earlier this past week. Then do they, OTTP, powerdercoat them? If so I can see it taking a bit.

If its on the time attack SS and that took a massive beating it would be good for my SS I was actually asking a ottp employee to get me a list of parts they carry or could get from the time attack ss.

in the pipeline : floating rotors 315 x 28 mm for TC and 312 x 28 mm for LSJ as a bbk kit. This is very cool a brake cooling kit, of course cabs very late and single pass and...and an original time attack front spoiler, and for road racers maybe a revised fuel system. Can you go 20 laps on a tank of fuel without stumble on a 2.5 mile track? If not that issue needs an answer as it sucks to run out of gas with just under half a tank of gas. Time Attack raced on 3 gallons of fuel.....6.8 lbs/ gal...
