Postwhore.

rx7power: There are plenty of brands to choose from. Some are more expensive than others.

JIC, Cusco, Racing Beat, etc.

There are even some inexpensive bars on Ebay. (Be forewarned that while some are a great deal for the price, some are also very cheaply made and may not fit properly).

Do a search in the 2nd gen section and you will find a lot of bars to choose from.

The "Autobacs" bar on eBay is pretty cheap and I had no fitment issues whatsoever. Looks just like any other strut bar I've ever seen, with the exception of the Mazdatrix one that can double as an engine toque brace, the real thick RB one, and ones that tie into the firewall.

I didn't want one that tied into the firewall, since it would not be SCCA legal for my class.

I have the Cusco front bar and its by far the best looking strut bar. The racing beat one looks "80's" to me. The Cusco one is WAY better than the crappy thin greddy one.

For my rear bar, i have the corksport one. Its a replica of the cusco rear bar and its VERY burly and lightweight. IM very happy with this combination. They both match cometically as well.

Corksport used to have it, I think, I remember there was a site that had it.

If you can figure out who carries it or Cusco's part number, please share.
