RMM or APR strut bar? #104589 Feb 16, 4:35pm Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 18 peppers200 Member peppers200 Member Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 18 well guys I just dont know what to buy... I'm battling over the Rod Millen Motorsports Strut bar or the APR Performance strut bar... I can get both for real good prices. the Rod Millens 140$, but the APR's 110$. But I have been contacting Rod Millen and buying parts and they have been real good to me... any advise or an answer to this question? anyone like one better then the other?

I heard some interesting things about JIC putting out one for our Celicas from JIC's reps. I just got off the phone with them again and it seems they won't be developing it or any time soon. So it's Tanabe all the way, unless there's something better soon.

Well just how much more are you gonna adjust it after its in already? None. Last edited by CID498; Feb 17, 2004 9:22pm. "They don't make no seatbelt for the mind.
