i want to buy a C Pillar Bar, but i was wondering what companies make them for the tC???

is Megan the only one???

what other companies?

 

Megan is pretty much the only one. Not sure what you would need one for though... does virtually nothing for our car.

 

really it doesnt better the handling???

well it looks cool anyways

 

go for sway or strut bars instead

 

A rear sway will do a LOT more and you won't have to cut any of your interior pieces.

Even the front/rear strut bars will do very little, if anything for handling.

Sways are about the only way to go. Just a rear if you don't plan on driving too hard too often... and maybe the Hotchkis front/rear set if you race or autox.

 

what, where and how do u cut to place the c pillar bar in the car

 

when i saw it they jsut cut the top part right by the seat belt

 

does anyone have a picture of one installed

 

When in doubt... go to the source:

I installed the pillar in my driveway. Went and tore up I-95 for about an hour. Went home. Took it off, put it back in the box and returned it. Absolutely USELESS.

 

If used with a combination of things, it works, I have the c-pillar bar, the greddy rear strut brace and the TRD sway bar, the 3 combined work great, love hem.



Here's the Greddy rear strut bar:


No picture of the TRD sway bar, I'm sure you all have seen one before.

 

i agree, i have a tanabe front and rear strut bar (one of) with the c-pillar bar and I have felt a difference in the body flex with the car. its not a bad investment. get it from wesellcarparts for a good price.

 

can people still sit in the back seat with the c-pillar bar?? if i got the side curtain air bags where the c-pillar bar will be installed, it will pointless to purchase one right??

 

no i have a generic c-pillar bar and it gets in the way when people sit in the back they either have to slouch down or place there head on the bar but who cares as long as you arent the one sittin in the back lol and with installation i jus took the back piece out i didnt really cut anything so when i sell the car its not all cut up

 

It's a terrible investment unless you've done everything else and need to find products to burn your money on.

 

i dont like how u have to take off the rear interior to use it..if ur a 240sx owner then its ok to have no interior >_<

 

Well I think the not using the back seat part of it would be a bit more annoying... you could always trim your interior pieces around it as needed. But you can't really trim the back of your friend's skull...

 

is it hard to install the interior rear strut bar????

where did u find it???

 

which one do you think is better. the monster motorworks rear bar or the greddy rear bar?

 

I like the design of the Greddy rear bar, but I'm probably going to be changing mine out for the one that DME makes, I really love their high quality products, here's some info on it:

-Scion tC DME rear strut tower brace, my price: 107 + shipping, 05+.
Description:
· Unique geometrically engineered ten point reinforced extruded center shaft
· 100% steel end plates for strength and durability
· Octagon design to enhance appearance and for structural integrity
· Engineered and designed for a perfect fit
· Reinforces the chassis without adding unnecessary weight

DME's multi-sided CAD designed aluminum strut brace is precision engineered to minimize chassis flex and at the same time offer a visually unique appearance. A significant amount of engineering went into the design of the center shaft. The bar is manufactured of extruded aluminum with reinforcement ridges for maximum strength. Seven of the eight sides are sand blasted leaving the top of the bar polish and finally finished off with a black anodize. The end plates are mild steel with a textured chrome finish to resist corrosion and to visually enhance the rear inside part of your trunk. Each end plate is precisely designed for a perfect fit.

If anybody is interested, please pm me, thank you.
