Ok guys,
this is what has been going on. A few of you guys have been asking me to make some things (especially "strut bars"). Well, I think i have a plan? I would like to know how many people would deffinetly be in for me making a bounch of these!
I have made a rear strut bar "as a prototype" (look on my profile for pics) and since it turned out really well, I am willing to make some of these for other 6gc members! The bars will fit both the GT and ST since body types are the same.
I have not yet made a front bar yet, but i am sure i can... since it should be similar but would just use more material and cost a little more. I will be making a front bar in the next few days and it will be a "3 point brace" like the really expensive ones that cost over $300.
Depending on the amount of people that are serious about this.... the price will drop for the more people that want these braces!
Prices will be:
front bar price will be $130 including shipping
rear brace will be $100 including shipping
only people that have $ and are serious should reply to this post!!!!
This is for all you guys who want "good solid strut braces" but dont want to spend tons of $ on them!
DG

matt,
i just looked at the rear jspeed 3point brace.... it looks like i can make that. I just got to go and look at my car to see how that mounts!
update: i just looked at that and there is no place to mount the bottom! looks like the jspeed rear makes you drill into the floor and mount it???
thanks,
dg

I'm a moron, but I've got a question. What exactly do these bars do? What are the pros/cons of having one/two of them in your vehicle? How exactly can we install them (I've seen your pics, but I'm still clueless)? Would you be willing to provided exact installation instructions?

Thanks,
-Brian

I will put pics of the front brace on my profile when i get finished making the prototype. i will also have to make jigs from the prototype braces.... so all of the braces come will turn out exactly the same.
I am going to need a few days on the rest of the stuff i got to do to be able to produce more of these braces, so look for pics later in the week.
after both front and rear braces are posted on my profile.... i will be making these for people in the order that i receive payments.
this way the people that are "ready to buy these" will not have to wait for other dreamers delaying the process biggrin.gif
Thanks guys,
DG

p.s. about me making instructions, trust me ....they will not be needed!
It is a simple bolt on mod to make the car handle better...
