So a while ago I got a Spoon lower front tie used from somebody on this site. I liked it at first but I was a little dubious about its benefits and I was really getting tired of having to dodge anything in the road or risk smacking it. So I went out driving in this crazy rain last saturday night and the next morning my car started making this funny noise. It got way louder at about 4000, like way way louder. It sounded a little rough at idle too. I was all freaked out so I started looking around for the problem and it turned out that I hit a falling rock with the lower tie and bent the crap out of it. Bent it so bad that it was touching my exhaust. check out the pics, I couldnt believe how far it bent.







canyon tested and canyon rejected.

I took it off and everything is fine so I guess it didnt wreck anything else

Yeah, they really are pure ****. I bent one of the rear ones over the summer. Replaced it with a solid Chrome-moly bar, haven't had a problem since.

Well, the full specs depend on what you find for endplates to bolt the bar to the car. I reverse engineered the spoon one when I made it. I think its 12" long, 1" Diameter made from 4340 Alloy. I reused the spoon spherical end, which I think was an M10 thread bored into 1 end of the bar, the other end bolted directly to the endplate with a 10mm bolt (I think) so just drill a hole through the bar and mill the sides flat so the bar sits with a flat surface on the endplate. I don't have a print on it through... I made it with the spoon bar right next to me.
