Is MLS copy bar better than KMS bar?

93gold_legend · 03-26-07, 12:25 AM

As in Does MLS stablize the front end better than KMS?

in my opinion based on design with an angle prebent into its dual bar design it would be. where it bolts down to also is better.

but KMS works just fine, looks a little more "showy"...for the average legend guy.

PS-your mod list is too small.............can't read.

Agreed. If I were to compare the two as weapons, the MLS bar would be a killing bludgeon and the KMS bar would a punishment whip/stick.

What's a bludgeon...?

Anyways, as far as a performance/improved handling aspect goes, MLS > KMS.

Dam, MLS is so expensive though even the copy lol, its just a piece of metal, should'nt cost over 100. And KMS is priced decently but can you tell a diffrence in handling with it?

It's called a copy but it's much better than the original. The original design did not take into account the steeper hood slope of coupes. Copy bars are designed to fit coupe and sedan. Original bars are painted black. Copy bars are powder coated black.

Metal that's been tooled to keep the front end of a G2 Legend planted. Also original bars are much thinner in comparison to the thicker diameter of Copy bars.

High quality, low production run after-market parts for $100.00 is a dream we've all had. Wake up!

A bludgeon is something like a club. A blunt weapon thats usually overkill.

I endorse this bar. I'm not a performance oriented person but this bar really makes a difference. I've got a stock suspension and this bar and its amazing the handling difference. I can't adequately explain it, but fut is right it "plants your front tires to the road".
