I just installed my RCR 3pt rear strut bar yesterday....wow big difference! and installed my ebay 2pt front bar today (not tested yet). I investigated the stock front bar that i already have , just to check if rigidity and it is a REAL JOKE! you could almost flex it just at looking at it ...no seriously how this bar can help, it's so soft! IIRC someone on this board was building replicas of those bars (i guess it was more stiff than stock)...does anyone knows where to get those?

i don't think the person building those 3pt strut bar ever updated his thread.. last thing i saw was a jig he built to help him produce replicas.

Man, i'm starting to regret purchasing the st205 rear strut bar instead of the RCR 3pt strut....

RCR 3 pt for the win.

the rear 3pt goes tower to tower then joins up under the back seat right?
pretty nice looking to

Not technically under the rear seat. If you look in the back of the hatch, there is a bolt that holds the seat down. Thats if you raise up the rear trunk carpet.

im from australia, and just wondering where you purchased the RCR 3point???

cheers,

def made the rcr's but he stopped a while back. i got mine back in august last year

is it possible to get front and rear strut bars for at200? or will the ones that fit the st202 work for me? I havn't been able to find any for my st.

since you have a coupe I am unsure about the strut bar in the rear. But for the front any strut bar designed for our gen celica will fit.

alright thanks centaur

hmm we should have a write up here somewhere to help install the rear strut brace ahh here it is

not quite.. but installing the rear strut brace is a piece of cake anyway.

i didn't feel any noticeable difference with the gt-four rear brace but i felt more difference upgrading the front brace.

really I would have thought the rear would have more of an effect?

i didnt feel any noticeable difference after installing my front strut bar ...in my case, the front one is a cheap ebay 2pt one so i think you need a good 3pt one to feel it....my rear one however is a 3pt and i guess you will feel it more than a stock 2pt

Interesting, I took a more steeper turn goin at like 50 and i sure did feel the difference with the gt-four rear brace.
However this was on stock suspension that's 14 yrs old though...
