If so can i get dibs on the old one? Also If i make brackets and put a bar between my rear tire wells could that be like a rear upper bar? or am i just stupid?

That's all a strut bar is, a bar between the struts.

Default I got mine from 2Bennett a few years ago...

It's a Jamex universal kit. I recently acquired a set of DW front & rear upper strut bars and will be having them installed later in the year. A far as selling my existing one, maybe but I currently intend on using it in my 4KCSQ. However I may be getting a different car by then so if it available I'll let you know.

BTW 2B has SPARCO strut bars available still check with them if you need one sooner.

The straight one works fine in my car, but the battery is in the trunk so it's not a clearance issue.

Default Re: Upper Strut Bar???

The only commercially made one I know of is Jamex, and it's been out of production for many years. It's aluminum, and is bent to go around the battery. They are a little difficult to make for the 4k as there are several things that prevent it from going straight across.

The rear one is probably a waste on a CGT as the rear bulkhead serves the same purpose.
