I am just now checking out this thread!! I can now have an EDFC without modification of my stock bar!! I love the idea of conveniently changing the TEINs from inside the car! Then I can really be like that commercial when they push the button and the road flips over to change to windy when you leave the office! Damn I love this car! And the AZ forum that came along with it!
Count me in!! (Glad it's the first bar)

I generally like the screw mount round bar style as it allows you to pretension your bar a little bit. Id had the flat style ones and they either have slop in them which compromises their effectiveness or they have adjustment slots which you never end up being able to tighten down quite right.
Either way Im not really that interested. The TL isnt my track tool.

Carbon Fiber Strut Bar
You got to make the carbon fiber bar look like the first one. Do that and I down. You can't beat it even if the price was $125.00. Real Talk.

Is This going to be stronger then stock?
Question, I want to make sure I got this right....
If you put a more rigid front strut bar on a front drive car, would that induce understeer?
so in essence, you should not be changing out the front strut bar to a stronger one right?

Not to mention...AZ most likely would not want this either as it would give them a certain amt of liability as well, as the AZ name is a trademark more or less that belongs to Astroboy and Soopa. I would stay far away from that idea unless pre-approved by one of them.
At this stage I am just having to wait. Once I have some information, I will post it. It is being worked on, but is going to take some time to finish.
Thank you Kennedy for answering the question.

None of these are confirmed, but if you would like to leave an opinion on which color choice you would like, that would be fine. It will more then likely be a majority decision. But, no color is guaranteed at this time. Jason

Titanium or polished aluminum...cheaper to do and not adding weight I dont want. Already have enough of that in this car! The black CF is just an overlay cover isnt it? If so...I am with the aforementioned. Less problematic in the long run!!
But...if you are just talking a finish - polished for me. If we are talking a titanium bar...that may be another thing. But if you are just having a Ti finish applied to the base aluminum bar....I want polished alum then.

And yes, the CF is just an overlay. Purely for looks.
