Well.. car's almost together.. Rear strut bar question though
Like the subject says, my beast is almost back together.
My sig could be ten feet long now.....
Totally frankenstien engine, all 3 generations of N/A and TII parts!
I should be looking at about 200-230 rwhp at a solid 10 psi of boost.
Anyways, anyone know of a rear strut tower brace available?
I'll be getting on of the cheapo front ones off E-bay (I'll be F%^&d if I'm paying 250 US for a damn aluminum tube from Mazdatrix!!!!!!)
I was just planning on getting a pair of them, and moddifying the rear accordingly.
Does anyone think the rear tower brace is worthwhile? (beside looking totally trick)
The FD's sold in Japan had them from the factory.
I don't have any suspension upgrades yet, but I have A1 factory shocks and springs.... and nice tires.
I'll have a ful list of mods and a lot of pics up soon.

the rear bar makes throttle steering more predictable and keeps the alignment in the rear in check throughout corners. I have one Cusco left in stock - PM me for pricing, free shipping throughout the US!!

Front - Guru (do a search), triangular strut tower bar for like $90!!
Rear - Corksport, cusco style rear strut for like $70 (if they haven't upped the price)

they also really increase chassis rigidity making bumps etc...damped through the actual suspension than flexing through unconnected chassis points. I have had the cusco rear for a while (Grex front) and just ordered a cusco "V" extension that bolts to the existing rear bar...it is two extensions for each side that extend to a point behind each seat and bolting to the floor for added rigidity.
