Can anyone advise if the quick release function diminishes it's benefit as bracing for the mid section of the car? Because this would be the main reason I'd be purchasing

The orders we have are in no particular order:

1. Kyoochun Lee
2. Vincent Huey
3. Chad Mccurdy
4. Edwin John Raquedan
5. Radrea Salmon
6. Omar Cachola
7. David Clark
8.
9.
10.
i dont understand why people are telling me they CALLED the shop to confirm an order when obviously some people are not...

I'd also like to see the response. But from what my ME degree tells me, as long as the QR pins are strong enough, the bracing effect will almost identical to a permanent harness bar. The QR however does introduce a point where fatigue can set in if the tolerances aren't tight enough. But then again, a poorly welded bar without QR could have the effect in its welds (i.e. weakest link in a chain).

With that said, I'm pretty confident that they've worked out the engineering problems and have designed the assembly to provide the best results as if it was a solid piece.

I'm pretty sure (having had a Sparco piece) this is just as durable as whats out there for a harness bar.

From Jrod: "No I wouldn’t say that it does. The pins are very strong and the fitment is tight."

I'm not really concerned about its strength or even its durability as its a wonderfully made piece. The QR function by necessity introduces an amount 'slack', so my question is whether this slack affects its rigidity by any amount significant enough to reduce the bars effectiveness as a chassis brace.

I would say no. Once the bar is under load, the QR pins would still transfer the forces.

The more I think about it the more I agree with you. I had originally imagined the forces on the B-pillar being compression but having given it more consideration I think its going to be more of a twisting action which would make the bar act like a sway bay (can anyone confirm or correct this?). If this is that case then all good
