$100 for a front strutbar..

is that expensive?

I found one from ebay.. and $100 shipped..

AC Autotechnic c/f single strutbar.. and.. what's the difference between single and double?? cuz the seller has a single one and a dual one..

or anyother good one?

well.. my bodyshop said that i need one asap cuz they took the stock one out when they installed my teins..

so.. i'm gonna order one right away after i hear some replys from u guys..

thanks

I got a front and rear upper strut bar, and a lower rear tie bar for 85 bucks shipped. You can do 1 of 2 things, go for the good stuff which would run you a bit more...or go with megam (or antoehr brand) and get em all for about 90 bucks or less. I was satisfied with Megan Racing struts'. I'm sure you'll be please with just that.

thansk for the info
when i checked ebay, most of 'em are "megan" stuff.. and I didn't know if it's good one or not.. and.. yeah they are around 6~70 bucks.. also, the one that i was looking for was little expensive than megan thing..

and.. i think i'll just get a front strutbar since i have subs in the trunk, i don't think rears would fit

anyway.. thanks

Why don't you put the factory one back on. I don't know about the brand you mentioned, but a different bar is pointless unless it's a good brand that is solid, NO HINGES! Plus the stock one is triangulated which is way better than a two point bar. Did the stock one not fit with the teins?

Here you go Nelson...

Linky

I think they work for the SS. It sits on top of the coilover and adjusts the knob with a little motor. All at the press of a button inside the cabin

The main point, would be to adjust the dampening while inside the cart. For example, you could adjust for daily driving during the week (soft) then be able to stiffen with a touch of a button, rather then adjust at the strut itself, for road changes, weekend road racing, ect. IMO, it's well worth it.

Btw: nippon I checked out that strutbar, and i'm thinkin of picking up the double myself, if i can get ahold of a cf intake. Can't seem to find one tho .

HKS = the company
BOV = Blow Off Valve (releases any extra gases formed by the turbo, which makes the whistling sound when shifting gears)


Hey, that was a typo by the way. I did not mean to say megam...i meant to say meagan (which are the brands you have metioned earlier).....I tend to get on this when I'm really tired, or just buzzed which results in a lot of typo errors.....
