For any of you autocrossers or anyone that cares about cornering and suspensions stiffining, what have you done about the strut bar issue? Its starting to become aware to me that all of the strut bars offered for the eclipse (2g) are CRAP, as far as i can see or tell. Anyone got any ideas? What have you guys done? I am contemplating having one made for my trunk...
Like this maybe? _____ /| |\ the straight horizontal bar connects to the strut towers and the support bars would bolt into the trunk somehow -------------------- 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

QUOTE (awd4kicks @ Jan 16 2004, 05:14 AM) BTW-I've seen a number of DSM's with rear strut tower braces and some were home-made. Not to difficult, but maybe not pretty or light depending on the material used and the assemblers skill. Ask Spy for a pic of the one on the rolling chassis he picked up from me. The one in there looks beefy and I have no question as to its functionality. But it's not the most beautiful item to weld into your 2G. If you don't mind a welded in rear strut bar though, fabrication and welding should be pretty easy for a decent welder to handle. Essentially a straight bar with metal end plates welded between the rear shock towers. Carl should be able to whip one up for you without a problem. -------------------- |
