Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Skunk 2 Strut bar?

Anyone know about these struts and if there good for our cars or not, and it's for the front.

i had ordered one but it's not even out yet..
i e-mailed skunk2 after that and they said they don't even know when it'll come out, when they have a price set and all these websites have them online
i would like to get one, but i think i'm gonna go APR now.

Skunk2 Strut Tower Bars
Aluminum Upper Strut Tower Bar

By tying in the upper suspension points at the shock towers, the strength and rigidity of the chassis increases while the overall handling performance of the vehicle improves. Skunk2 Racing strut tower bars are made from ultra strong and lightweight AL6061-T6 and offer the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any strut bar on the market. Each bar is highly polished and features anodized aluminum brackets.

I found a bunch of websites that carry this and they said it was for out cars.

if its out get it i have never heard of a bad tower bar yet...

The only one i have heard bad things about was the APR and i heard a bunch of times that it shakes or pops off and shyt like that.

wow i didnt know that-oh well most are good since there really isnt a whole lot to mess up on thse things

It's between Tanabe and this if it's any good.

ok

I wanted to get this one two but couldnt find one! APR is what I did instead. Skunk2 looked good and all but I was not waitin anymore.

c-one if you have the cash


tanabe if your like me and dont have the cash.

celicacrazy did you not read my post?

the bar IS NOT released yet, websites have them online but you will not get it
skunk2 does NOT know when it will be released
APR is a very good strut bar, you hear complaints because nobody installed it correctly.

I contacted them today and they told me that they have the front, but have not come out with the rear one yet.

that's what they sent me after i called them, and they told me they don't know when the rear will be released.

just get the inexpensive one from apr they are probably fine like said above if installed right

yup APR is fine never had a click or pop once I even bought mine used too

apr looks nice too

thanks guys

APR is sweet

Sorry guys but the development of the Skunk2 front strut bar really depends on me because my GTS is their testing car for fitting, and further research & development.

They used my car to test fit the cat-back exhaust. They said they wanted to work on a strut bar but that meant leaving my car there for a few days. No one is having my car for a few days.

They market these products for sale even though they haven't even developed them yet.

Is the exhaust out??? How are gains??

So there coming out with a full Cat back system now instead of the axle back?

It should be similiar to what other exhausts are putting out, after all our engines are only 1.8 liter na.


Cat-back, axle-back, same shit. It bolts onto the end of the midpipe
