I dont know alot about OBX except that they are cheap, and I dont know if cheap is the best way to go, cheaper the cost, cheaper the quality, BUT looks ok, BUT whats up with the mounting areas being different angles? One side is straight, the other is 90degree

Not to mention that the front strut towers have 4 bolts, not three.

Hello. I just won the auction for one of the 86-92 front strut bars from your company,. but I just noticed however, at least in the photo, that the strut bar you are showing is not for a 86-92 rx7, as the 86-92 required 4 bolt holes on either side. Can you send me a photo of the actual bar I won? Thanks.

That seller has decent feedback. Also, like the seller said, the pic is for an other application.

The bar will fit. It may rub against your alternator. I bought a smilar bar on ebay and it rubs my alternator. I had to buy a smaller alternator belt just to move it down abit. Still rubs sometimes.

If bidding on eBay, see if you can get the 3 point bar from CP Racing. They often put them up there, and they are good bars (have one going onto car next week).
