Are these bars similar (or better than, perhaps) to the stock bar that can be found on GTX's?

Sad News guys...for now the Strut bars are on a permanent hold.
1) the shop is slammed with work, hard to get tooling and new jigs made and then start making the parts.
2) In order to do them right, they'd be expensive. Cost is secondary to quality, but with that comes a higher price...I don't like the numbers i'm hearing.
3) In order for it to be worthwhile, an order of 50-100 bars would be needed...thats out of my range right now, way out.
4) i'm still thinking, but it looks rough. I don't want to compromise quality for price and if i can't make them the way i want them, i won't make them at all. There's enough cheap to mediocore stuff out there.
5) I did locate a shop that does metal shaping and laser cutting, so i can make a kick *** bar, but at what cost....$200 for a strut bar is way overkill, unless your a hardcore racer, a street car is just not really worthy. I am just being real, i don't want to make mediocore bar, i wanna make a bitchin bar... FIND ME 50-100 ORDERS!!!!

why customize?

Why buy a 150 dollar strut bar when you can buy it in any performance store, specially the first gen?
