Which type of bar do you want?
I was asked to carry these products to USA.
I will carry them in April or May.

Look for Ractive strut tower bar for 93+ RX-7
These are constructed from 6061 T-6 aircraft aluminum and it's polished.

They're not as nice as Cusco but they are good and cheap (around 50-75$ US)

Inukai san.

Since you are going to be here in April or May (San Francisco area), do you think you can make it to Sevenstock (Los Angeles area)? It would be wonderful if you could make it!

I have one of these and it is actually well put together. Got mine from ebay for about $65. Think RX7.COM's "cheap" one is the same.

Joe, the bar does the job and it's very solid, the Cusco bar is hard to find and it's expensive.

If you'll excuse the dirt in my hatch you can see the Cusco Front D bar and Cusco Rear Carbon Fiber bar installed on my car.

Ordered them from RX7.COM shipped the next day. I'm sure Jason @ the RX7 Store can get them too!

A lot of people PM me.
I'm very happy to have PMs from members.
I'm planning to visit LA, Chicago, Dalas and Newyork.
In April or May, I will visit USA.
I will carry many Front strut tower bars.
I have told CUSCO to offer me at a special price.
I fly to SFO, CA today.
I will be back to Japan in ten days.
I will post here about CUSCO strut bar group buy.

See you

Ractive bar works fine but mine tends to rub the hood insulation. If you need more strength or want more show, go for Cusco. I can't complain for the $40 I paid. Car feels tighter. I also have the RB swaybar reinforcer which further tightens up things.

I have the JIC bars in stock in both Aluminum and Carbon Fiber. D-shape for the front and Round for the rear. These bars are race proven and sweet as hell looking. Completely functional. PM me for forum pricing.
