STi Replica Strutbars

Suspension upgrades such as high performance springs, shocks and tires can add additional stress to the chassis resulting in additional chassis flex. These STi Replica Strutbars improve chassis rigidity and reduce this flex. By using a monocoque aluminum tube shaft, high strength and rigidity are obtained without unnecessary weight gain.

Applications:
* 02+ WRX/STi - Front & Rear

Construction:
* Hollow core aluminum shafts for lightweight
* Machined steel endplates for durability


Bought new from Gruppe-S for $125.
Had on my 2002 WRX for ~3000 miles.
Slight paint chipping from nuts on shock-towers.

Selling for $70 shipped or obo.
If locally bought will help install.

[TehWagon]

is that both for $80?

[xEJ20x]

is that both for $80?

Yea.

[TehWagon]

are there wagon specific ones or same for sedans and wagons alike?
dibs if so.

[xEJ20x]

I would assume they can fit both. But since your local, we'll test fit before the buy.

[S4toSTI]

second dibs after the fit test

[TehWagon]

sounds good. provided they fit, i'll take them. i'll do my best to get u cash but do u take paypal? (would be easier)
u comin tomorrow?

tsk tsk no one carries money anymore

[xEJ20x]

I can do Paypal.
However, I wont be at E-town, my manager desided that he wouldn't give me off even though I requested off at begining of the month :furious: . So I'm working 8:30am til 3pm, and it would be rather pointless to go to E-town around 3:30-4:00. :(

[TehWagon]

lot of that going around lately.
ok well, maybe i'll be back early enough on sunday to meet u at the meet and see if they fit. i can paypal u shortly thereafter.
i'm trying to picture, bolting this up is going to screw with the springs insn't it- when we take the bolts off the spring's assembly's gonna want to drop out isn't it... i HATE that part... just wondering how in depth we have to be if the install can be done at the meet- maybe if the cars not on jacks it won't matter?

I had no trouble with the springs at all. It shouldnt be that much of a concern.

[TehWagon]

[xEJ20x]

If there is the possibility of me selling something, then I'll be making the appearance. :mrgreen:

[TehWagon]

cool. i'll bring my tools.

[xEJ20x]

cool. i'll bring my tools.
Don't bother, I'll bring my travel socket wrenches and open-endeds.

[S4toSTI]

if its on the ground u should be fine... pete time limit for this 3 minutes!

[TehWagon]

Don't bother, I'll bring my travel socket wrenches and open-endeds.
eh, i always have them in the car so it's no trouble.
the great and all knowing eff michael says the rear one won't fit. hypothetically speaking, if that ends up being true, do u prefer not to split them up?

I would prefer not to split them, cause who would buy only a rear strut bar. :screwy:

Replica isn't good enough for you eh. :furious:




:mrgreen:

[S4toSTI]

Ash
Me
Troll

[TehWagon]

Replica isn't good enough for you eh. :furious:




:mrgreen:
haha. it'd be just fine, if it'd fit! troll or barry- either of you interested in just the rear? (just in case...)

[S4toSTI]

haha. it'd be just fine, if it'd fit! troll or barry- either of you interested in just the rear? (just in case...)
for 30?

[TehWagon]

why just 30?

[S4toSTI]

why just 30?
front is the important one so i thought 50 for the front 30 for the rear was fair

[xEJ20x]

Actually, since I thought quite a bit about who I am selling to I repriced the bars I would sell the front for $40 and rear for $30. If I had to split them.

Sweet dude ok if ash only wants to front i will take the rear if she doesn't want or can't have either i will take both. Thanks for the tst deal good lookin out.

[TehWagon]

indeed - good lookin out. will figure it all out on sundee and go from there. thanks all- good group effort! :)

[S4toSTI]

hey and no harsh feelings if you take it all ash :)

[TehWagon]

'wesome' :thumbup:

[TehWagon]

ok here's the thing. i took both bars, and i think they'll fit, but we ran into a snag and couldn't install them last night. so, barring (heh) any unforeseen fitment issues, i'll be good to go wtih both (sorry guys)... but i know where to come if i have a change of heart!

And what did we learn.
Never install car parts in a parking lot at night. :mrgreen:

[S4toSTI]

Pete will be offended by that comment... happy they fit best of luck with it.

[TehWagon]

concur with that- i thought they were going to bolt right on but hey- i learned something!

[TehWagon]

barry/troll - still have interest in the rear? i think i'm going to go with a removable one-
let me know.

[TehWagon]

ok this is available- i might as well use this thread... still $30 for TST people, picked up. i like it just fine, i just went with a quick release one since i have a wagon...
