I have the DAS bar. It was recommended by Synergy Racing who did the install. It is the best priced bar that I know of and the quality and fitment are as good as I could expect.

For good reason... they are as different as 'chalk and cheese'. Suggest you give RSS a call.

Is the design any different? The last one is terrible for passenger side.
