Ok I am looking to buy this strut bar but I am concerned about its aluminum construction. Will it hold? Does anyone have this one?


Santiago

it will hold fine... some aluminum alloys are stronger then steel.

I doubt that one is though... fwiw i have a racing beat strut tower brace... and that thing is light! really really light!

IF this is an autobacs bar, they are fairly well-known japanese tuning co.
I wouls assume it to be well-made , IF it is indeed autobacs brand

autobacs is good stuff...i was there in japan and its like a performance supermarket :)

Thats a rip off. But should work just as well. That dude has sold like 7000?

i have a suspention specialties front strut bar, i've never had problems with it. I dont think you'd have a problem with that bar, it looks exactly the same as mine. even the end mounts

isn't that strut bar from ebay?????
i can get that one for about 40 bucks but I am afraid it might be useless

i really couldnt afford the rb one though.....
more info will help me out too

Saw this on eBay did you? Going for about $16.
Check out the "other" Strut bar on ebay:

It's the same bar from what appears to be the same seller. Not dissing the seller but for that price I decided to pass. It smelled too fishy to me.
My 2 cents
Crispy

I got screwed by one of those guys
i think his name was AutoKingdom, but he disappeared along with my $45.00 for the strut bar

the autobacs1 guy has been there a while, though, i would consider buying from him

Get the triangle shaped onw made by CP racing, that would probably be the best strut tower bar that you could buy, that or Mazdatrix, but CP is WAY cheaper.

Re: Aluminum strut tower bar....
 

I suggest saving an extra $30 or so, and buying one of Guru's triangular bar for the FC!

Guru's bars are my preferred bar, and aren't expensive compared to a "regular" tuning company
And they seem to be more functional!
They are not legal for SCCA racing, though

GURU?????

Guru from CP Racing

PM him, name is GURU.
or call (519) 940-9225
His strut tower bars are fantastic and cheap... he doesn't believe in ripping people off so he sells stuff cheaply...

thanks guys I think I will go with GURU

anyone have any pix? I would also like a rear strut bar does he make those too?

Santiago

Yeah Chris does have rear strut bars. They even let you pick the color :p:. CP is one of the best places Ive ever dealt with. I want to get a bridgeported fb, and the motor is definately coming from them (so did the one for my fc).

Um I noticed you all are from canada will he ship to the USA?? cool I wonder if they have 5A paint? lol

The Japan forum members refer to autobacs as the pepboys of Japan lol

i've got the triangular one from mazdatrix, the strut tower bar/torque brace... lovin' it :)

Im pretty sure he does ship to the US.

how heavy are they?
