Talking Price update please

I like that polished one better than the carbon fiber strut bar I wanted. (Another excuse for the dealer to charge more for an oil change though.)

Good news

RE-A is producing this bar for LHD FD.
This bar has the master cylinder stopper for LHD.
It makes break feelings better.
No one can get this bar without this forum.

I will post pics ASAP.

What does this mean exactly?
I am about to do the 929 master cylinder upgrade. I hope it doesn't interefere with it.

I guess a pic will help.

Yes, but is there going to be a matching rear strut bar also?

Plus it should fit in an EMS box, and it was pretty light too... So shipping should be pretty cheap...

Any updats on these bars? I would really like to get one, just hoping it won't be too much. But yes they do look awsome and very functional looking. Thanks inukai and canman, keep up the good work.

canman....Do you know if this bar will work if we have a engine torque brace. From the pics, it doesn't seem feasible. I talked to Inukai tonight, but I forgot to ask about it. Dragon should be going up to Tokyo 2nd week of august(or maybe 1st week) to go talk to you guys. Possibly hang out and get with some of the Yokohama Honey's.

Inukai's supposed to be coming to Okinawa in September. I'll be meeting with him then.

Jspec,
I agree with you on that man. I dont think the FEED, HPI or any of those would fit. You would probably have to use like Knighsports (i think it was) because of the different place for mounting, its all also a solid torque brace..

Yeah I talked to Dragon... I think we are going to hook up, and I will show him around the shops and stuff..

Everyone else... These Strut bars are already for sale...
I have them on my web page..

Just weld an extra bar from the 4 point strut bar to your engine
Although I don't think that would be as good as having them unconnected.

Guys, I think it's a 3 point strut bar, not 4 point. A 4 point strut bar would have another point of attachment at the front of the engine bay?

Now that I cleared that up, I would like to know what kind of material it's made out of

Aluminum.........

All of RE`s strut bars are aluminum....

Sorry I forgot to mention that.... Also MR.Stock is right, its a 3 point. The ones that I-Feelin and a couple others are four point...

When I talked to RE though, they said this strut bar may not fit american FD`s and I know they have one or 2 so Im going to ask them to try to see if it fits. The reason its the shape that it is, is because so it wont hit out ABS, but RE doesnt know if it will hit the US`s I will ask them to check ASAP though...

I know that sucks huh... I would like to check out this strut brace to see the feel of it......

I kinda like the shock one, it still gives a little play.

I will have to check out the one by Dragon.. See how it works.. Looks good too?

Also JSPEC, you and dragon and FDOkinawa all work on aircraft? or none of you?
