Rota's are nice. So are Axis VPD's ($620-699 on wheelmax for 15's with tires shipped).

SR bars are flexible crap. Get the KORE bar when they're back in stock or order from Bretton once he fixes the Pro model bar in March.:devious:

Ever think there might be a reason it's under $100?

I have the SR bars on my car. I'm ordering the Whiteline bars so I can do a side-by-side comparison of the two.

19's are nice but i honestly wouldnt go any bigger than 17's on an accent. i have 17's right now and i had to get super low profile tires plus bend my rear wheel well up a 1/4 of an inch so they wouldnt rub, i dont know how the heck you would make 19's fit unless you cut half your wheel well off. :sleepy: also a strut bar??? come on guys and a short air intake?? just spend the extra money get a battery relocater kit, put your battery in the truck, and get a ram cold air intake that runs all the way down behind your grill of your car. cost about $250.00 but well worth it. i timed my accent factory and got 22 seconds in the quarter mile, i bought 8.8 wires, bose +4 spark plugs, the ram cai, and my 17's and i now get 19.3 in the quarter. once i get this cam shaft put in and my aluminum pully i hope to do low 16's

he doesn't want to void any of his warranty, just not yet anyway
he got 16.8 with just a k&n drop in anyway lol, that could be mid 16's with lighter rims and a strutbar could help like .00001 seconds

go with lightweight 15's and a strutbar

the tires are for looks and handling.. don't expect many gains on the track unless i get some really sticky tires with them.
