Hey everyone, I am in the process of looking for Strut Bars for my tC, does anyone know where I can get a good one for a fair price?

i ordered the tanabe sustec strut bar from newscionparts.com this morning. they are backordered until june.

i hate that but its a good price for a strut bar which i actually only paid 39 bucks for (GC)

$39 for the strut bar? How? they have it as 83.00 on the website.

Anyways I ordered the polished Tanabe Strut bar from RaceonUsa an Ebay seller, and mine will be coming in either saturday or Teusday. I prefer it for that polished chrome look but its not chrome (hate that stuff), its a nice bar. Hotchkis is cool but over priced, the Dc Sports is my next choice.

The tanabe is not the best, it is the same as the $19 bars for other cars and will eventually be at that price for tC's. It is too flexible, I have used them on other cars and had to mod them to make them work better.

Not sure about the DC, would have to have my hands on one and do some rough testing, stiffer the bar the better, looks decent but like it may flex a bit.

Hotchkis is very ver stiff and well made, not all that much more if you shop carefully, made by an actual suspesion company as well;)

And you lucky TC owners are even having Buddy Club make you a Coilover Suspension setup , which hopefully will be as good as JIC's FLTA2's .
