will it fit on a coupe? i would really think that it wouldn't need it as much as a hatch back. The coupe already has alot less flex. i would do sway bars first on a coupe. (front brace i would get)

paste "53605-20020" in the Factory Part Number search section-> 60.03$


woohoo


Thx for that, but I would also like to know the Partnumber for the Front Factory GT-Four upper strut brace. I want to install it on my ST. And does anyone have a partnumber of this Cusco strut brace? http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=parts&itu=29
An online catalog from Cusco would also be fine, that way i can look the partnumber up myself smile.gif

isn't there a strut bar that goes underneath the car as oppose to the one in the trunk? which one is better?? or is that called a Sway bar ?? same thign??


I think you're referring to the lower tie bar. For our celica's there's only the rear strut tower braces, which go in the trunk.

these are sway bars. Suspension Tech makes them. The strut tower bars connect the tops of the strut towers whereas the sway bars (actually anti-sway bars) connect underneath the car and connects the end links and gives the car a more rigid feel. There is a write up on how to install a rear bar here

Thanx, I was thinking that cause it's pretty much where the top goes when it's down, Thanx again!

which is a good brand and where can i order a good strut bar.  I'd perfer the 3 pt.( i think thats what its called) one.

Jspeed and cucso are both 3pt you can order them form bulletproof. one thing that sucks is waitng for them to come

the one I ordered is taking like 2 months


go to driftfactory.com they have cusco front and rear struts for 150 each i dunno how their delivery service is though

Ya really what is the difference between the strut brace tower and Anti-Sway Bars. I know Anti-Sway Bars are alot cheaper than strut brace towers why is that so. Which one would you guys prefer in buying?
Would it be reasonable in buying an anti-sway bar for the back and strut brace tower for the front??
Any help is greatly appreciated >>THANK YOU>>

Tiga, do you have a strut bar in your engine bay?

Anyone have any feedback about the GT4 rear bar? I'd like to buy one. Is there an updated link to where we can get the Cusco strut bars?

And there's a GT4 front strut brace? Is it better then the one that comes with our comes from the factory? If so, what's the part number?

-Matt

Oh, I meant the rear one, the first time.

I meant will the rear GT4 bar fit a GT hatchback with no problems?
