Snapped Autotech Roll Bar
« on: July 11, 2012, 04:27:11 pm »
Car in this afternoon wasnt handling very well and had a knocking from the N/S/F.  Straight up on the ramp and was greeted with a dangling roll bar link as the roll bar had snapped.  Has this happened to anyone on here before?  The rears are all bent on the ends too.

H&R kit is now going on next Weds  :evilgrin:

Are these tube solution bars? I'm sure i've heard of tube arb cracking/snapping before, can;t say it was Autotech ones though...

H&R FTW.

Yes,

I had two brackets break on my ED30 and when I did some investigation there were a few in the USA who had their bars splinter and break. Not common though I'm glad to say.

I've seen posts about the brackets failing, also something about the older versions failing like this, but there were also comments about them resolving the issue.

If I do have this problem I hope that the supplier will stand by the product they sell.
