Bulletproof Automotive has the Jspeed brace for $260. It's fairly similar to the TRD brace. The Jspeed is a 3 point and bolts to the firewall in 2 holes that are already there(mine didn't come with bolts, but I found a couple high strength bolts at Ace for less than $5).
I love the difference it made on mine. They also make a side brace($210.60) and rear 3 point brace($260). |

 They connect the strut tower to the door hinges, adding even more structural stability to the frame. Only worth the price if you race Autocross or in the mountains(It's on my list of things to get). |

You can use the 93-97 Corolla brace. They are about $15+shipping on ebay.

I believe you can use a matrix strut bar for the back and modify the holes.

They'll work, but will require some modest modifications. If you guys are VERY interested, come up with a price considering the retail price of the Matrix bars on eBay after shipping and I'll see if I can churn some up for you guys. Remeber, the price on eBay is roughly 15 for the bar, 12-15 shipping. Make it worth my while...;] The Corolla front also will work, but you'll really only need to drill 2 holes, otherwise the Bar will not clear the power steering resivoir (on the ST at least). Just look under your engine-bay and guesstimate... I'm probably gonna order another and re-weld the points for a perfect fit sometime when I have time...;] This is what my Rear mount looks like... completely re-done This is the front... I drilled 3 holes... but realised ony 2 will fit, while the thrid will leave it too low. Also note, that the bar BARELY clears the hood... I mean, it basically almost touches; depending on your installation, It might even touch, but that isn't a relaly big deal either way. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
