haha well i guess ppl are doing it but under the radar!

hahaha yup... and even though it is a cheap bar it is built pretty well. i mean its no cusco, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything else for this low of price. if you do, please tell me
i'm thinking of buying another and seeing if i can modify it to work in the rear too, even though i have the gt4 rear.

were they pretty reasonable for shipping?

well i dont remember but i think it was around 10 bucks...(i may be wrong, i'll have to check again, ugh, stupid 1000+ pages of emails >.<)
also off topic, but anyone looking for a heatsheild http://www.2kracing.com/Product/56904.html.. good deal, will update on it when i get it...
k back on target.. "United Parcel Service (Ground): $10.42" so yeah it was around 10 bucks to OR. Probably cheaper for you since they are based in SOcal

So... I'm still stumped on finding some of these babies. Where have you guys got 'em? Checked eBay, only saw ones for the last generation. Can't seem to find them on Google either.

Any ideas? Anyone here have any for sale by chance?

ADDED: One thing I have seen on a few sites: The tower bars listed for the 00+ Celicas are listed as compatible with the 93-99 models as well. Is this true? Would it fit on an ST?

you think it would work in the rear as well?

if these work, i may just have to get 2. a couple rallyx events are coming up and i want to get the car somewhat prepped and ready to compete.

the brace that bolts onto the top of the strut is to big for the back. but i was thinking if i could just take a 4 1/2 in grinder and grind it and re drill holes until it fit...
right now im watching cash so i cant try it. but i can take some measurements and tell you if its even possible at all.

hmm I should post these up now














OH YEAH

Where do you get these TRD strut bars? I am looking for a store which ship to Norway..

TRD Japan

Did you notice a improvement in the handling, by the way?

^^^yes if you were doing some aggresive cornering but no if just regular driving

its funny noticing how flimsy the standard 2point strutbrace is

the stock bar was the dumbest thing ever made for our car.. it's design is so bad it doesn't even do anything.. i think itf's there for looks 0.O

WALKER and I just redid the suspension on my car and put on the GT-Four RSTB and I could notice the handling difference when we took it for a quick rip.
It was a huge noticable difference - but that could be because the suspension and RSTB had just been installed... so the difference SHOULD have been unmistakable.

we were reffering to the stock front strut bar... i have the gt-four rear strut bar also but it's not hooked up right now in order to bring my mountain bike around.

Oh I know - I was just giving my comments on the installed RSTB in regards to the first post.

I happen to agree about the stock FSTB - can't prevent much body roll when you're bolted to the firewall like that...

So what's better, the OEM or the Cusco OS style for rear tower bars? I have an OEM installed (with cover and covers blah blah), and i picked up the cusco the other day. don't really feel like pop and swapping to see which is better as my lower suspension isn't exactly track ready.

Also does anyone have the 3 point Jspeed rear strut bar? any comments about it?
