Question Strut tower bar

I'm going to be autocrossing my car this Spring and think it's time to get a strut tower bar for front and rear. What is a good brand strut tower bar and where can I get one? Thanx

Chris

Cusco from rx7.com is where i got mint. Got a front and rear but be aware the rear requires you to cut out a hold in the rear tower pillar housing on each side. Give a good balance though.

You can get good cheap ones on eBay. I got a $30 front strut tower brace, and I love it!!

Don't forget about the lower arm bar. It's worth it just as much as the strut tower bar. Put one bar in at a time. Do one once a week just so you'll know what each on is doing. Then you'll know where your money went.

Cusco for the front - www.corksport.com $150

If you want a rear bar that doesn't require cutting get the Mazdaspeed rear bar - also Corksport. $222

If you're concerned about aesthetics the MS front bar is also $222.

I have MS front and rear but I bought 'em back when they were $200 at Corksport. You might call them, ask for Derek - he'll wheel and deal sometimes.
