Hello everyone! I am a new member to this site and have already learned so much from reading some of the shared information in various forums! I own a 1994 Celica (ST model) and would like to know where I could obtain a front strut tower brace or bracket! Does anyone know where and just how much I should spend?
Thanks! p.s.My car is nothing like an ST! It now has a 3sgte motor with custom front mount intercooler and a change from automatic to manual transmission! As soon as it comes off the dyno I will begin to post pictures! Thanks again! nemesis -------------------- I drive a Celica. Anything "less" is just a car! |

I had seen a celica from south america on here, and its in the forum somewhere, but he used an aftermarket
corolla one, and I believe he said it fit good, but he had to drill one hole in it. it was a black car with a mural of a girl on the hood, custom tailights and bodywork. |

nemesis. when your celi's ready. you can come check out my front brace. i have the Jspeed 3 point strut brace. if you want a cheaper alternative, there's always custom neon brace or the GT brace

I had the TRD 3 point strut brace in my 1994 Celica and loved it. Here is a pic of my engine bay....
 ....The one problem is I think the TRD bar is discontinued for the 6th gen but I would not reccommend anything other than a 3 point strut bar. -Ryan --------------------   |

You have a really nice strut bar also and I have never heard of JSpeed. Looks like a very nice quality piece but how is the price compared to others? I know the TRD is crazy expensive and if you can get the same design cheaper, then go for it right?

I think they are cheaper than the TRD, but not sure, maybe Shin can help you out on the pricing. I brought mine off an ex-member here, so I dont really know how much it cost. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

I thought that the 3 point's were too high so I am purchasing the cuscu front and rears, they are 136.xx each or even less for the round cusco one, like 109.xx i think
