In my own personal opinion coolhand has the nicest welds and the coolest bar.I am no welder or Mugen expert but his looks hand welded by the way welds meet on his. They are super clean. Probably a early model? A professional welder would do that. It looks like dc231 and the original picture in this thread may have been machine welded based on the same spot where they meet together. The other ones I have the same spot where the welds meet .

IT's kind of crazy that mugen bars cost so much more than spoon. About double the price at least.

I've owned this set since ~'07. I can't speak for the re-released product's differences.

Prices for both companies' used products are silly. I wouldn't pay what they go for now. One's money is better spent on better suspension IMO.
