Queston: Who was making strut bars back in 89?

I just got a used strut bar. The guy told me he got it, when he bought his RX7 brand new in 1989.

The bar has no markings. Its is super heavy duty and heavy. Very high quality.

Does anyone know, who was making bars for the 2nd gen cars back in 1980's?



Thanks

I agree that a picture is worth a thousand words. Racing Beat made one but I wouldn't call it extra heavy duty though the quality is very high.

Yeah those racing beat ones are pretty solid, almost look like some sort of hood bracing and are usually white.

I will get a picture up, but trust me, a picture will not help. Its a plain jane strut bar, that is a very heavy in weight, and was painted the original RX7 body color.

Put it this way, it is more beefier than my good friend's Cusco bars..and about twice the weight. Its is also about 3 times the weight of those cheap Ebay ones.

Give me some idea of what you want to see up close on the bar? Do you want to see the design of the mounting of the bar to the sturt tower plates? That would be the only part that is different, except maybe the shape of the bar its self.
