Choosing us as your first brand for Vehicle Safety Bars means you have made the right choice. With our products, you are (UR) safe (pun intended).
To go into detail, Ultra Racing strut bars are being designed to absorb the impact and minimizing the possible damages due to the chassis in an event of collision. With promising characteristic, Ultra Racing strut bars will not only provide solid handling but also a shield to the passengers.
Ultra Racing strut bar’s material are first being carefully selected, the brackets are being constructed by steel plates with the thickness of 4mm – 5mm in order to provide a strong brackets which would be able to hold each corner with strong holding power hence providing a solid and responsive handling.
Secondly the hollow steel tubes and oval tubes are being constructed with the size of only 1.2mm to 1.6mm of thickness which would not affect the handling delivered to the vehicle while impact can be absorbed without causing damage to the opposite side where the collision happens.
Our chassis bars do not compromise the car's performance nor makes the car gain more weight unlike normal steel-material strutbars from other brands (or custom made bars made by car shops specializing in the chassis tuning field).
MATERIAL SPECIFICATION & DESIGN
Every materials used are carefully selected to ensure the best performance and safety. The brackets are made of 4mm to 5mm steel plates, while the hollow steel tubes and oval tubes are of 1.2mm to 1.6mm thickness. These materials are selected to ensure the bars are rigid and strong to maintain constant geometry at all times, yet safe enough to crumble during an impact for safety reason.
All our raw materials has been made and tested with satisfactory result.

Why do we use Carbon Steel instead of other materials (Aluminum, Alloy, Titanium, etc...)
First, carbon steel is stronger than other materials for the same size and thickness. In order for aluminum or alloys to be at least the same strength as carbon steel, it has to be at least double the thickness (steel 4mm = aluminum 8mm). When that happens, weight saving is not so apparent anymore. Of course there are also exotic materials and alloys that can match the strengths of carbon steel, but the cost are astronomically high and therefore not very cost effective to bring into mass production. Even other well-known brands know this philosophy.
