Whiteline bar installed today
Lookie what came in the mail:









Pretty easy install. Had to widen out the holes a bit on the beam D clamps (yes, B14), but other than that it fits like a glove. I did notice the endlink on the passenger side is pretty close to the exhaust. Those with bigger than stock exhausts may have fitment issues.

Road tested it but didn't get a chance flog it in the turns. Maybe tomorrow. There was no noticable decrease in ride quality. I'll keep you guys posted, as far as handling improvments.

Got the same bar on my B14. You'll get a kick out of how it dog legs turning into a driveway.

I have been running the White Line front and rear bars on my B13 DD for years. I think they provide a nice upgrade in handling. I do, however, have a space-time conflict between the bar and the exhaust that I manage with a piece of rubber and a zip tie.

Definitely, loosened it up a little. I think I'm going to the stiffest setting.

You da man! I never went there, even with the front bar to balance it.

Does anyone have experience with both the whiteline and progress bars? I need to upgrade from my st bar and am torn between the two. Hank are you running a front bar?

I am torn what to do with my B14........keep attacking the rear beam or just move all efforts to the newly acquired P10. The B14 runs extremely well, stone cold reliable and you can beat the snot out of it. It just has a few hard and heavy areas of rust.


Why not spend the money and repair the rust

Stock front bar. A bigger front bar is going to make the car tighter. Which is the opposite direction I want to go. If I ever get the Tein Basics back on there, I'm considering removing the front bar all together.

I had a Progress rear bar for my NX and liked it. The design for the B14 Progress rear bar is inferior to Whiteline, IMO. I like the fact that the Whiteline bar connects to the frame, where as the Progress bar does not. It's the reason I went with it.
