well, the rear bar is probably about 3 pounds, if I remember correctly. I would think the front should probably be around the same weight?

and yes they ship to the U.S.

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?

I would suggest you pass on this one. My friend with a 240 bought one from ebay. That thing was total crap. The bar wasn't that strong (could bend it with the help of another friend). You could tell the bar wasn't for the car too (it sat really low, so close to the valve cover that it hits it sometimes).

Thats weird, could just be a thing with 240s. When I had mine, I had a Trust/Greddy front bar and I had to use some washers to space it away from the valve cover.
