    For those of you looking for the Sparco strut brace

    Knowing a bunch of you are interested in this (including myself), I found an online store that carries these, but they only have two (2) left in stock. I'd buy one, but I'm holding out for something else for now, so I'm just trying to help out the community.

    Jump on 'em while you can!

        I don't like how they only use 2 of the 3 bolts. Hartge strut bar FTW.

            I believe you can drill into the side of the strut tower and add an additional bolt there. The bars already drilled for it.

              The strut mount has a plate on it, even when 2 bolts are going through it, they are locked together. You would have to bend the strut mount for that third bolt to be of concern.

                subjective imo.

                mason bar would be best imo.

                :)

                  Loved my Mason bar :D

                  Sparco's seem to be very good though, only one left!

                    Correct, has another hole that runs down the side of the strut tower, ready to drill through the chassis.

                    I like this for its ease of access if you run camber plates and adjustable shocks, but I opted for the mason bar.

                        ^Its the same. I have an IE bar. I recommend it.

                            Yes, IE usually has them in stock. $120 shipped is a great price on the Sparco though.
