When does aluminum NOT bend? Defeats the purpouse of providing RIGIDITY.

I think aluminum is typically a more rigid material than steel.
but you can also see that, where its bolted, it bends off in two directions and than is welded onto a ring that bolts to the shock tower. Those bends are a weakness in the structural integrity of the piece. If you want ultimate stiffness, youd just have a straight welded bar that connects the two towers without any bending and no fancy *****.

I like this line, of course its made in the good ole' USA, I guess
they sent away for the japenese specs for tig welding.
"FEATURES T-6061 Aluminum Bar, SUS-304 Stainless Steel Bolt On Plates, and SUPER EXPENSIVE TIG Welding.
Also, If you have put stickier rubber on your car, or have upgraded the wheels to 17", 18" or even 19", you must use one of these bars. The stress put on by oversize wheels is tremendous. YOU MUST HAVE A STRUT BAR to PREVENT SHOCK TOWER STRETCH."
**** **** ****! I have 17" rims, I MUST get this bar right now!

If you have a 2nd gen, even better, opt for the rollcage.
