m1stachewey, shoot Throwdown a PM and see if he can work something out with UltraRacing. Since these bars will most likely need to be ordered in from overseas, they might be able to throw in the ones you want together for you.

Yeah, they don't really match my car color, but UltraRacing is known for their white bars. And I don't really mind that much. It stands out

I thought the sedans did come with a front strut bar?

Umm... maybe they do? I'm pretty sure the LX sedan's don't though. The EX and higher (including V6) might. I wouldn't doubt that the V6 has one, but I'm not entirely sure about the non-V6 models. Care to check for me?

Either way, I am keeping the FSTB, and it is a good chunk sturdier than the stock bar.

Is there a price on a group buy yet? Count me in on one of those interested to hear any pricing, both as a set, and bar by bar.


Zexen - you said your the Ultra Racing strut bar was chunkier than your stock one...noticeably? Cause i have no idea if the front strut bars are the same dimensions across all models that come equipped with it.

The ride is absolutely no different. The only thing while driving in straight lines, the car feels more stable, giving me less movement side to side while pointing straight, even though I still have to get my alignment done since i'm pulling slightly right.

Turns are amazing, and the car literally turns exactly where you point it. It's like I'm back in my 200SX track car, but without being lower to the ground (yet), and in a MUCH larger car. I love every turn I make everywhere I go now. I know I'm just going to get used to it later, but I was getting tired of how boat-y my car felt when taking turns and turnpikes, etc.

All front strut tower bars should be the same size regardless of engine or model, as long as they are installed from the factory. The sway bar will differ because of different engine weights being thrown around.

I think I have a picture of the two bars in comparison, somewhere around here...



It's not the size of the tube itself connecting the two shock towers, but just the thickness of the metal used in putting together the bar just felt a lot sturdier after I had un-mounted the stock bar.
