looking to put a GMG roll bar

Hey guys im looking to put a gmg roll bar in my C2s just wanted to know if it will harm the way the car drives since the car has stock setup. suspension wise. Will it tighten the car out more? Any advice would be great. Pros and cons. Thanks in advance

yes, it will stiffen the rear a bit since it attaches the the shock mounts. this should make for slightly better turn in/less push but will make the rear a little looser.

are you putting in seats and harnesses etc also? (if not, i am curious why just the roll bar, etc)

Found a good deal on the bar so im picking that up hopfully find a nice set of gt2/3 seats for the right price. Slowly but surley it will all come together. Just wanted to know if it would effect the car in a bad way if i were to have the bar installed. Plus i kinda like the look of it silver c2s red bar. Idk im weird i guess like that haha

sorry, i assumed OP was talking about the "GMG RSR roll bar". the other one they sell, they (sort of) refer to as a harness bar ("GMG World Challenge Harness/Roll bar"). it doesnt connect to shock mounts. with that bar, you will have little to no stiffening of the chassis and somewhat less protection in a severe roll over.

It should work just fine with softer factory suspension .
I have m030 suspension and the only reason I didn't go for the rsr is I didn't want to hack the rear of my car up ......
