If the group buy is for the same one that Philip has on his car, I'd be interested.

Eh, I had a RD strut I paid 90$ for a shop installed, when I first got my 97.not what I am looking for..I think I may put off a bar, til later when I can use a 6cyl bar, and then go with a UUC bar or something.

I got an Xbrace for the meantime.

You, Juni, and s_control had the same RD strut bar... looks good! Pedals takes a little drilling plus time and patience. I did two sets already.

I'm sort of interested, if the price will be much lower after group buy... I really don't have much to spend on mods .

Well, I've asked my neighbor who owns a body shop (and is reputable... fixed the subframe breaking on dad's M Roadster and added his own steel bar to reinforce) to fab me a sturdy and cheap Strut bar. He's going to give me a quote. If it's lower than these guys, I'll see if you guys are interested in buying one. I doubt it'd be much money. We'll see when he gets back to me (said it might take him a while). BTW dad's car is WAY stiffer than before.

This is indeed the original Hartge strut bar.

(pic 103 : http://new.photos.yahoo.com/stealth_...03167445988/71)

I have it on one of my ti's and it makes topping off the oil a major PITA. But it is 100% functional.
