FS: If you guys want these?, Strut Braces for Front and Rear Options

[PhillyGuy086]

doesn't the 3 point rear brace bolt onto the middle of the seat mounts, where the back seats are secured to the body? Im interested in the front but would like pics first. thanks for doing this seeing as how there is a lack of decently priced mods for the 6gen.

I'll have to see pics, but I'd be down for a front strut bar. 3 point or two.

[Exile04]

hey i would be down. first tho is a 3point front connect to the middle of the back wall. on for the back does it have to connect to the seats? Oh ya and is there anyway u can make the back on flatter if u know what i mean? i just thought it would look cool. Thnaks

it will look just like the rear bar i just made but have two more bars going down to the rear seat mount.
let me know?

Given a price to work for, I can have the money in about a month. I'm guessing the other bars people are wanting will take about that long, so I'll try to save up about 150 or so and hit you up when I do.

Ok, when you are ready to get one just let me know , send me the $ , and i will make your custom rear bar for ya within 2 days of when i get the $
thanks

How about my custom front bar???

[DG_Performance]

what is custom about the front bar that you want??? only a 2 point brace? if that is what you mean i can hook you up too!

Well, I have an aftermarket cruise set up on my car, and it's bolted up where the three point brace connects to the fire wall. So, I really don't want to move it. Plus, I know on Camaros and such that three point braces have been known to crack the windshield under someconditions. I've never heard of it on a celica, but hey, I think the regular strut tower brace would work just fine. As long as it is beefy, I'd personally want a two point brace.

Thanks

ok guys,
fabrication on the front braces has started!! look on my profile and you can get the general idea of what they will look like... remember that the parts are not even welded and look like crap right now but when it is done you will see a big difference! I just wanted to post and say that i started to meke em. Start lining up to buy em cause i plan on making a few over the weekend. first come first serve! dibs will go to the people who have money ready to buy and have these shipped out. Final product pic will be on my profile as soon as the first bar is done.... that way you can see what the final product will look like!
thanks,

thanks,

Nice work DG!! it looks great! I was wondering what the strut bar was made of exactly? Is it solid or hollow? Any chance of it rusting?

well,
the braces are hollow to save on weight, but they are made of thick walled steel tubing (very strong) . There is always a posibility of rust when you deal with steel, but think about the stock GT strut bars..... they are made of very thin steel and they dont seem to rust( at least mine never did)! It really depends on how you treat your car! If you leave you engine bay get all nasty and dirty and never clean it then yea the bar will rust from neglect and bad conditions! As for the comment someone made about windshields cracking???? the stock GT bar is hooked to the same place under the windshield so why do you think 3 point bars would be more likely to crack the windshield? If you stop to think for a sec, if the car flexes more with a weak brace ....the stronger brace should flex the windshield less??????? or am i missing something?????? seems like an urban legend or something to me???
everyone is entitled to an opinion though so ..... hey maybe you are right ????
i never heard of this happening

ok, well i got the (fixture/jig) ready to go so i can now make the first marketable strut bar for the front.
whoever wants to be the first one to buy one of these off of me....just email me and let me know!
thanks
