LMAO, you can buy a whole lot of SPL and other goodies to reduce oversteer and understeer more significantly than a tower bar. And for weight reduction, get a Antigravity battery. I know it looks bad *** though!!!

8 lb savings for $2.5k

I bought a brand new motorcycle one time with the change I saved.

It doesn’t have the two extra bars that nismo Z’s have for rigidity

I assume the cf is strong enuff
