front crash bar removal....??? so im really considering taking the front crash bar out of my 2000 ss. But i keep hearing people say that the bumper will sag and blah blah blah dont do it. well i've googled and looked on tech. cant seem to find any pics of camaros without a crash bar.
will the bumper really sag as dramatically as people are making it sound?
not wanting to drop a few hundred on the burk hart support either. sadly i dont have a garage to keep her in and texas heat is full of fail

Iv had mine off for a few months and its not like im hearing from people so far. It does sag just a little and one side is a little worse than the other but its not bad. I love the weight reduction and is worth it imo. Im actually thing about getting the midwest bumper support its alot cheaper than the burkhart. I also have the rear bumper support out as well as front.

yeah ive considered a few small pieces of aluminum or something just to keep some for. but the problem is the guy that helps me out doesnt have an aluminum welder

The sag isnt that bad dude. The only way I can tell is to get on my knees and look at the sides or I can tell by running my hands on the edge of the hood and bumper. I can feel its not at the same height.
Only way to keep it supported is to make a tube support like the burkhart or mwc. Theres no way metal strips would lift up the sag on my bumper.

Mine was "OK" for maybe 2 years when it started to pull down on the sides of the headlights. I put some simple alum bars, that weight nothing and its super stiff now.
Ar you talkin bout the aluminum strips or some round bar? Im thinkin bout just getting one from mwc they are like 7lbs and cheaper than the other.
It unties the front of the car for guys that like handleing and has no crushability in a accident. The force would go straight to the chassis. It's probally not a big deal for drag guys other than the bumper warping under speed. I'm not a drag guy, I just go to the track to measure my car's acceleration performance after I change ****.

Supports the bottom.... Which stops it from pulling the rest of the bumper down. I'm sure there Are a few supports where they can't be seen that hold the top
