I recently purchased 2 items from MP Racing. I got their front STB and the engine brace. My initial impressions of these items were that they are top notch. The worksmanship is excellent and the fit and finish is second to none. Lvemy3100's customer service is excellent. In fact is is a lot better than 99% of other companies I have dealt with. The packages arrived quickly and the packaging was great.

The quality of these parts far exceeds their price. The STB is a polished cross bar with gloss black end plates. The end links are adjustable for a precise fit.

Here are some pics

I will get some install pics when I am done as well as driving impressions. The brace also has adjustable end links with heim joints. Very impressive.

I highly recommend both products. He can be raeched at mkpracing@aol.com

what's with the critisism from everybody these days.

I want you to let me know if you would, how that engine brace turns out. I need to remove some torque flex. And how much was it?

i may be interested in a strut tower brace, do you have a rear to match? is the crossbar aluminum? i have speedbuilts now, but i like the polished bar.

No rears to match yet. he is working on them. I do believe the crossbar is aluminum due to how lightweight the bar is

The rear bar has been a major pita so far

yes the crossbar is aluminum for both the STB as well as the engine brace

Blackjack, you may also want to think about having one custom made or modified so that you can tie into the firewall as well....

i have that same strut tower bar. you got super ripped off on that price. i could get you one for a lot cheaper. those were the ones i was selling for 50 shipped a while back.

jabartram, i'll trade you my strut tower bar that is exactly like that one for your black speedbuilt. let me know.

its funny how you say that you can get and sell them for cheaper than me... even though these are made by a local company... unless you have something worked out with the shop out here something tells me you are full of it and just trying to sway business towards your bars by lying and threadjacking...

get a life and quit wasting peoples time with lies

i will guarantee you that these are the same bars. your "local company" is just slapping a sticker on them and calling them their own. the sticker is off-center even. why don't you know what you're talking about before you start slinging crap.
i'm not going to argue with you about it, but just remember who the newbie is that is all happy about a cheap strut bar.
take a look at the picture, and then tell me what you think smart guy.
