There's one on ebay...overpriced, and in crappy condition AND goin for 219 plus...i dunno...80 shipping?...I remember some ppl a little while back were still able somehow to order it from their dealer. Try searching on the thread for TRD geniune parts, and you'll see a couple ppl who ordered it and see if any of them are in your area or near, and try to get one.

yes they do. not $250 worth of difference if you ask me, if you're daily driving the car just get a $20 Neon front strut bar and drill the 2 holes to make it fit.

the 3 point rear strut bars make a huge difference. I don't know how much they cost since I didn't pay anything for mine but I do know I never want to drive my car without it ever again.

Just out of curiosity, how much difference is there from the RCR 3pt rear strut compared to st205 rear strut. I would assume its more stronger because its triangulated but does it make that much of a difference between the two?

yes. I had the gt-four rear bar for a couple months before I installed my RCR 3-point in addition to it, huge difference.

Yeah, right now i have the gt-four rear strut but im still using my stock gt front strut bar right now but i wanna switch it out to a Jspeed 3pt or if i can get my hands on a TRD one then yeah...the one on ebay has some rust spots on where u mount the bar on the mounts and looks in bad condition IMO. And it goin for 300USD...this is the one i saw last time, not sure if there's any new ones.
btw an02, what suspension setup do you have, the picture you have in your signature---it makes your car look mighty low...you have tein SS or tanabe df210 or smoething?
