all the Mickey Mouse mods are to make the car safer and faster at the same time
after the bars I can go round corner with ease at 90+ and before it was only 70+

the Arqray is welded on which is alot better than before
90+ is too slow, at least 190+, otherwise useless

you will not save money unless you not planning to put the oem back on
it the same cost time for changing it, it dose not matter if you weld or not.
so next time when I put the OEM back on it cost the same
oem dose not have the bracket so need to weld any way

you need wider/bigger wheels to bring out what those wonder bars are capable to do.

Chassis of your LCI is like 30% (if not more) stronger than ours right?

so I think the bottle neck for the performance of your car is not the chassis, probably tires and wheels given your setup. but yea those bars are cheap and good value so why not, I'd do it if it won't make my car scratch the bumps, it should play more magic on my pre-LCI e60.

yes lci is 30% stronger and now it maybe 60% stronger.
it will be much better for pre lci.
wait until kieth install his when he comes back and then let the pro tell you how good they are.

Just buy 1 rim at a time!

Or have AK arrange a "0% installment" payment scheme with you! ha ha
