Reason: to put in the web site so people can give me the correct information
The strut bar is the same in all models from 92-96. The only difference would be adding washers when installing to clear the throttle body/cabling depending if its a 4 cyl or V6.
Personally Andy Auto Sport is an expensive site to shop. Just go to ebay and find one.

This is the one I bought and have had no issuess at all, and was able to get it on without clearance issues on the v6 3vz. Not much clearance mind you, but still cleared ok. Here's the link
^^^Thats the same one I bought for the Coupe.....but still add a few washers to clear the TB.
I didn't realize mine was hitting the bar, until ASG14 took it off to install my intake.
Yeah, I noticed that. Mine initially rubbed, but I played around with it and was able to get it in without having to use washers. Now mind you, the clearance isn't that great, but it does clear. It's just how I put it on that made the difference.

wth, it can only go on one way. Its gonna rub, unless you grind the strut bar at the throttle body position or add washers. I don't think it can be accomplished any other way.
Please explain!!!!

When I initally put it on, I didn't really understand the whole putting washers in and didn't seem like it was sitting right at all and thought I had to be doing something wrong. So I said f!ck it and decided to play around with it.
What I discovered is, if you you have the ends screwed in too far on the bar, it actually drops the bar down and lies on the plenum. So what if you loosen the tightening nuts, and screw the ends further out from the bar? So after lots of playing and experimenting with it I found is if they are the correct distance screwed out from the bar [whatever that is] I had to push down the inside of the rings down into place. What this did is cause the bar to sit higher across the plenum. Once I discovered this out it was just a matter of finding out exactly how far each end had to be screwed out from the bar so that a] each side was equal and b] there was enough clearance from the plenum. So now I've got a nice tight front end, and no rubbing at all since I installed it last summer.
If you're at the east end meet on saturday, you can check it out.
Does a STB make a notable difference in handling? Also, what's that boxed-off section behind the radiator?

Most people will say the STB will only increase understeer. I've tried it with or without it and I don't find it that different.
You need a RSB (Rear Sway Bar) to counter the understeer which I have also. Maybe that is why I don't see a major increase in understeer from the STB.
Yeah, that's the CC unit. I just painted it's cover silver. I didn't have an RSB when I installed the STB, so i actually felt that the car went around corners a little better. However, there was bit more body roll. Then I installed the Whiteline RSB, and everything evened out. Much less body roll, and MUCH more stability around corners/curves.
