Front Strut Bar 03+ - Interested?

Hey Guys,

I made a custom front strut bar for my 05 S and thought that others might be interested in it instead of the EBay or TRD Bars.

For those of you who dont really know what a strut bar does, it is a bar that stiffens the front end of the chassis. It bolts to the top of the front strut tower in the engine bay with either 1 or 2 bolts on each side (depending on the model). Best way I have heard it explained is 'Picture an open shoe box, it can twist easily. Put a reinforcement across the open area and it will be alot stiffer'.


I used some 7/8 4130 .0651 wall tubing. I am going to produce two different models:
Type A will mount to only one bolt on each strut tower like so (pardon the dirty engine):


Type B will mount to two bolts on each tower like so:


I made the Type B for myself and is currently at the powder coaters getting a steel grey finish put on it (which I will put on all of them).Once I get the price from him and order some more steel, I will be able to give you guys a definate price for these.

If your interested or have any questions, feel free to post in here or email me at CLMorrison83@comcast.net.

Thanks,

Chris
