Car = convertible 6g w/ 3rd gen 3sgte and tons of engine mods
Feel free to only answer one if you don't know the questions to all... questions: 1) I've seen cusco front strut mounts on the Toyota Curren ST206, I'm pretty sure they will fit, but I can't find one. Does the Curren have the same strut towers as the Celica even though the front clip is different? 2) so does cusco still make strut braces for the ST20# Toyotas? Where can I get them? 3) I found a cusco rear strut brace, it's labeled for a st202/st205, will it fit the Convertible ST204? 4) do the cross bars behind the convertible back seat get in the way of the strut mount? 5) how are the Whiteline brand strut tower mounts that I see for the celicas? Are there ones for the 6g? 6) does the gen3 3sgte gen in the way of certain strut bars? 7) are there custom strut bars that fit the celica strut towers well?

Howcome you're so set on getting strut bars? They really don't do a whole lot of stiffening for what you'll be spending.
You're better off getting sway bars before strut bars if you really want to notice a difference -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

You're better off getting sway bars before strut bars if you really want to notice a difference everything else under my hood is aftermarket and looks aftermarket, then there is my stock strut bar. It would be nice to change it out, but if they really don't make a difference then I agree, what's the point. I don't care for the rear strut bar, the convertible body has 300 lbs of extra support due to it not having a top, so who needs rear support on a convertible. If I found some for cheap I would tho. I'm not heavy on cornering either, so it's more of a thing I would do just to change something else to an aftermarket part just for looks. -------------------- -Jay

For looks i'd say go for it, and there is a slight increase as these guys that actually have them installed have stated. But if oyu're more looking for performance increase, sways would be a better bang for your buck so to say. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
