I'd go aluminum cause it's lighter and won't rust. If the design sucks either one will crack....

Just go with the aluminum since it's cheaper... A 3 point bar will probably still flex less than a 2 point bar.

These eBay thing crack me up. The item description for the steel one is terrible. "reduced nose dip while braking". "High performance Jdm technology racing design" lmao.
