Well my take is based on facts by experience, If you decide to get a Hahn Turbo Stage 3 or if you have already installed one. The DDM support won't work based of the location of the fuel pump. The Rebar mounts up nicely without in lose of stability support.

I have an idea that would easily show the truth of which bar works best. Take a lipstick camera and mount it on one side of the cross member videoing straight across to the opposite side. Go through the canyon where there are very aggressive cornering. You would do this with each bar mounted of course. Then come back and view both runs on a monitor. I'm almost sure you'll be guaranteed to view the one that has the least amount of support by watching it flex and if you can speed up the video with a clear image i'm sure you'll see one dancing like crazy. Just from my driving through the canyons every weekend before i installed the Rebar, i had a serious problem with over steering and had to reduce my cornering speed. Since my installation of my Rebar i haven't once had the problem reaccur and i can push the car harder and it's actions are predictable.

First of all we really dont care for the bragging rights. We are simply trying to service kappa customers all over. And for the record we use many of the same methods of devolopment and testing, using CMM and CAD. We invite everyone to look at our other company Welcome to Sector 111, home of Lotus Elise Aftermarket Performance Parts and Exhaust Accessories. Maybe that can also let everyone know how serious we take our work and what we are all about.

Actually, that is not correct, We have an adapter plate for the Hahn Stage 3 fuel pump. With one customer already purchasing it.

Hi Randy, as soon as I get it, I will let you know how fitment goes,....I got the Solo SQR-3 exhaust installed this weekend, the space is really tight now as far as the fuel pump is concerned, so I am interested to see if your bracket will fit. I'll let you know buddy.

Thanks

ddm and rebar.
I bought the ddm bar and the kappshere rebar. With a little machining of the ddm bar sides, both bars can be made to fit. They both have their advantages. The kappashere will not fit my car due to my werks exhaust system. The ddm fit perfectly. The original plan was to use them both.

I think we are wait-listed!

Unless, of course you are DDM Platinum - then you go to the front of the line! ( Just kidding)!

When I placed my order on the site it stated they were accepting pre-orders for April, so I am thinking mine will be in that batch. I hope so, because in May I can show it to anyone that comes to Savannah for the cruise.
