Strut tower bar

Sup guys,

Anyone know of a good strut tower bar that I could buy? Would it make a difference if I have a Cartech turbo kit? I'm not sure if the ones in Mazdatrix would clear the intake bonnet. Plus Mazdatrix wants WAAY too much for theirs. Any ideas?

On the triangulated one, do you have to make the two holes for the two points that it bolts to the firewall?

To Manntis:I'm thinking about buying the 2 point one in black. I just ordered the dual belt alt. pulley from (you)rotorhead.ca and I want install that first. I have a lot of time before I get to drive the car (winter in NY) and I have to spread it out with parts installs to keep from going insane. I want to drive my car dammit!! Anyways, those bars look nice for the price man.

Just remember, if you autocross, the triangulated bars are illegal for Street Prepared....

$99.95 for the 4 point bar, $79.95 for the 2 point. $20 for shipping anywhere in North America.

And all prices are in US dollars.

I recommend the ones Mantis sells. The company that makes 'em (CP Racing) is becoming quite popular up here in the Toronto area.
