Built a 4 point rear strut bar this weekend

[Bishop]

yup....i used the the mounts that bolt to the shock towers from one of those cheap ebay strut bars. It was alittle too tall for my liking so i chopped about an inch out of the height. It also seemed sorta flimbsy so i added a horizantal support on the inside. Fabbed the rear mounts out of thick flat steel. The tubing was .75 OD with .15 wall thickness. I'm going to repaint it this weekend. The paint got messed up because i had to leave and it wasnt all the way dry yet lol. Just took these pics a second ago with my camera phone.

not a bad design, i actually thought about doing the same thing. i made plates for a galant front strut bar like a year ago and used the ebay center piece. i had pics of it but i lost that phone.

[ChainSaw]

so what do you do if you get a flat tire?

[BTEC]

so what do you do if you get a flat tire?
i would cut the body from aorund the bolts that are holding the strut bar dwn to get spre tire out then spot weld it back in so i wouldnt have so much to cut out next time.

[Hulud]

so what do you do if you get a flat tire?
there is plenty of room to take the tire out

:stupid: thats prolly the quickest lol

[3kgtdrvr]

lol. I alway have tools with me so taking it out if i have a flat is no problem. But im sure i could just slide the spare towards the front of the car and get it out that way.

civic? lol what kind of coupe? Year? I may be able to find u one.

[Spyder]

Looks nice, how much would you charge to do a 4 point where it crosses over then goes back to the fire wall and bolts in? S13 coupe? in all seriousness if you were to make a few I'm sure you could sell the shit out of them.

[The BUCKY]

good design, but still questionable as to how useful a rear strut bar is on a fwd car...

what are you talking about? lololol
it helps prevent body movement and keeps teh car more stiff

[ShooterMcGavin]

i meant to specify that i was referring to front wheel AND front engine cars. the rear of a car is pretty solid/stiff as it is (no giant open space where the engine goes).

thats where i looked before but i guess i will again.
