Hey a buddy of mine has a 96 neon and i was looking under the hood and noticed that they have very little hood clearnce. That gave me an idea. I measured from one strut to the other and it was tha exact same as my 94 celica. so i ordered a neon strut bar off ebay for like 6 + 15s/h when i got all i had to do was take a rubber hammer and flaten it out a little and drill new hole in the brackets and it went on just fine. and I could really tell a difference. My car is lowered 4in so it pretty bouncy and stiff but when i added it i felt it tighen up the body roll even more. beats paying 200 later

I love how every one is like, humm, i can feel the dif, it feels so much tighter..... .. Yeah its not that much of a dif, im sure an enginer or real machanic could tell you that, new sway bars will make a dif of it, an how it feels, but strut braces dont change it much at all...... but good find i gues...
Sorry not tyring to rain on your car, an well at least i hate it, i mean you get all this extra dirt all over it....... wtf
good find man. i believe i will try that too. thanks

ok i bought the full ring and second of all it took me prolly 2 hours pounding with a rubber hammer with all i have i felt like i was going to pass out before it barely cleared the hood. I payed like 25 shipped and it wasnt flimsy at all it was b*tch to bend that damn thing. lol

It says on the ebay listing that resellers and group buys are welcome, anyone interested?

go ahead and email that guy and see how may people are needed and the final cost of each.
i wonder if there is a generic that can work for the back strugs? (not the matrix one)
Dickster223, can u post a pic of how it looks?
This sounds like a good deal but when i get the money i am giving my support to DG but this is a good find.
Wouldn't pounding on it and bending it kinda jeopardize the strength of the strut bar...therefore not helping? lol
