Ok guys,
this is what has been going on. A few of you guys have been asking me to make some things (especially "strut bars"). Well, I think i have a plan? I would like to know how many people would deffinetly be in for me making a bounch of these! I have made a rear strut bar "as a prototype" (look on my profile for pics) and since it turned out really well, I am willing to make some of these for other 6gc members! The bars will fit both the GT and ST since body types are the same. I have not yet made a front bar yet, but i am sure i can... since it should be similar but would just use more material and cost a little more. I will be making a front bar in the next few days and it will be a "3 point brace" like the really expensive ones that cost over $300. Depending on the amount of people that are serious about this.... the price will drop for the more people that want these braces! Prices will be: front bar price will be $130 including shipping rear brace will be $100 including shipping only people that have $ and are serious should reply to this post!!!! This is for all you guys who want "good solid strut braces" but dont want to spend tons of $ on them! DG --------------------  |

well,
the braces are hollow to save on weight, but they are made of thick walled steel tubing (very strong) . There is always a posibility of rust when you deal with steel, but think about the stock GT strut bars..... they are made of very thin steel and they dont seem to rust( at least mine never did)! It really depends on how you treat your car! If you leave you engine bay get all nasty and dirty and never clean it then yea the bar will rust from neglect and bad conditions! As for the comment someone made about windshields cracking???? the stock GT bar is hooked to the same place under the windshield so why do you think 3 point bars would be more likely to crack the windshield? If you stop to think for a sec, if the car flexes more with a weak brace ....the stronger brace should flex the windshield less??????? or am i missing something?????? seems like an urban legend or something to me??? everyone is entitled to an opinion though so ..... hey maybe you are right ???? i never heard of this happening DG -------------------- |
