I'm curious how you manage to run in FSP with the Autotech 4 point.
SCCA National Solo rules, para 14.2 C states (in part)
"Strut bars may be mounted only transversly across the car from upper =
right to upper left suspension mounting point and from lower right to =
lower left mounting point. No other configuration is permitted."
That seems to exclude not only the Autotech, but also the factory 16V =
stress bar when applied to an 8V car.
So, is anybody running these at the national level???

I've had both. I replaced the factory 16V piece with the Autotech 4 =
point. I could tell the difference on the Auto-X course, but not really =
on the street. Keep in mind that I use 13" x 9" wheels with Hoosier =
Auto-Xers to race and 14"x6" Dunlop D60 A2's for the street, so I don't =

So what's the overall opinion of the stock 16V lower stress bar vs. =
and after market bar from Neuspeed or Autotech? There are a lot of bends =
in the VW part so does this reduce it's electivity?=20

Anyone have an opinion on the Autotech sub-frame as well?
