Like I said before, I seen were someone had a Toyota Matrix front strut tower bar moddified and put on the rear of a celica. I'd like to know how much moddifying neads to be done to make it fit, or if it's even possable.

they got the ring verson of the matrix rear bar. and cut off most of the ring and re-drilling a hole to fit the celica.

i'm still interested if a neon rear would work.
I used a camary one for my rear... fit damn good but did have to cut away some of the ring so it only mounts on two bolts and had to bend the angle a little on the part where the ring mounts to the bar... also had to drill a new hole, think it took about 20mins to get it to work

as for the front - TRD strut tower bar kicksa$$! hehe

thats looks nice^
My Neon front strut bar arrived Saturday. It looks like I will have to drill at least two new holes. What's the easiest way to mark where to drill the holes? Also, anyone know the size of drill bit I'll need to make the holes the correct size?

I made a template for mine. I think that's the easiest way to do so. Attach the template to the bottom where it's flat against the steel, then proceed to drill your holes.

I had a friend take it to his company and precision drilled the holes. The 2 holes that needed to be redrilled I made a 7/16 th diameter. Template fit perfectly.
im gonna order the rear bar, next week..thats gonna screw up my audi system though. i know its gonna be in the way of my box.
yup, i know for a fact the neon rear does not work..

I still haven't had the chance to drill holes in my Neon front strut tower bar. I've got the drill bit I need, but need to get the right bits for my torque wrench. I need to figure out the size and then also the correct torque for when I put it on. Anyone know these off the top of their heads?
i dont think that there is a correct torque that the strut bar needs to be put on. (correct me if im wrong) when i installed my springs with my friend (toyota mechanic) we just put it on really tight.
