Good find man. Looks like you don't have to mod it like the neon ones, but its twice the price of the neons.
Dude ask what material this thing is made out of. I see its light weight, but if its the same thing as the neons, might as well wait for some one to make the front 2 pt strut bar for us to fit with the factory bar. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

That bar would be nice for LOOKS. If your looking for it to add rigidy and stiffness, your **** out of luck.

look for a FIXED solid bar....like TRD and cusco/jspeed
these provide great support. bars that are adjustable/bolt together/pivot have proven in tests to not perform very well...especially ebays |

news flash..the neon strut bar is NOT made out of plastic but rather a high grade of alluminum...miss info on this neon bar is spread everwhere...i have the "neon' bar on my car and it made a difference...so much that my ass end kicks out more now where i need somethin in the back to cancel it out...now grant it its not the BEST one you can get but if your contemplating between the neon or that one..there basically the same thing...i would go with the neon on...plus i think it looks nicer and its not crap....yes you do have to drill your own holes but o well....just my 2 cents but im quite happy with it

way over-priced. might as well get the neon strut bar for cheaper. imo, it doesn't make much of a difference. but i got it for free so i guess it was worth it.

why not weld a bar across our stock strut bar? Has anyone tried this. I'm sure it would be sturdier than a neon bar.

And what were the results of the welded bar across our stock bar? Was it as crappy with the neon bar on? Because its obvious its not as quality as the c-one bar.

actually "you are" is abbreviated as "you're", not "your", that is the possessive tense.

I would just get factory or TRD or even CUSCO, makes thinking less hard work.

yep, seriously speaking, stiffening the front only will cause more understeer.....Now if you want the POSSIBILTY of oversteer in a FF, your gonna need to have the front real soft/loose and stiffen up the rear...which is what I did to mine kinda..(stock front struts on teins delete strut bar, rear Bilsteins with teins and gtfour bar)
