Rear Strut brace

[MR2-Good-4-u]

I was considering getting the rear strut brace that replaces the stock ones and adds one across the back. I want a polished one if possible, i went on trd but they don't have pictures. Does anyone here have one that they like, and could you tell me where you got it? Thanks alot!

Also does anybody here use/have a two step not for NOS but for launching? If so what kind?

greddy makes a pretty nice polished strut bar http://store.yahoo.com/hopup1/grrestbartom.html

The TRD bar is the only one I know that has the X-pattern and the cross bar.

I use a 2-step to launch. It's built into my EMs (the Nemesis).
I used to use an MSD 2-step.

the TRD strut bars are nice i have both. it looks nice too. and i agree that TRD is the only one i have seen with the X in the back.

I also have the TRD brace. It is a sparkle gray just fyi, so if you like the flashy looks, it might not be for you.

Keep in mind that Cusco also makes front and rear strut braces.

Could you post a pic of your TRD one so i can see if i like it? Thanks!

This is the way the TRD bar comes:

How much of a differences to the X braces make? Is there any reason someone couldn't take a stock tubo brace a weld a pipe in instead of spending a bunch of money on the TRD?

[JekylandHyde]

I don't think they make much of a difference at all.
They are pretty though

other than weight, looks, and the probability that it will fail i dont see why you couldnt make your own braces.

many race cars have welded strut braces.
