Strut tower bar. Will it fit?

[SoNew]

So I was bored and found these on amazon, just wondering what you guys think, will it fit? Will they work? Does anyone else have them?

They will fit, but I bet I could bend those over my need. You probably won't see any better handling out of them. DC sports bars are the way to go.

Solid bars are the ticket (DC Sport). Mine made a noticeable difference after installation.

I also noticed a major improvement after I installed the DC bars. The rear of the car loves to come around now (which is a good thing!).

When front strut bars are put to work, they see tension, not compression. So it doesn't matter if the bend.

But I do agree with liquidX, solid bars (no bolt joints) is the way to go.

If you can bend one of those over your knee I will personally fly to where you live and forever perform all of your yard duties. However, if you fail, I get to club you upside the head with it for being so arrogant.

OP, for what these bars are, they're way overpriced. I purchased equivalent bars from eBay for under $40. I'd not invest $100+ in bars such as those. These guys are right, they'll fit and they'll work - but they're not the greatest bar around. Nor does a bar do a tonne for our cars to begin with. However, triangulated bars...

So ironic that DC made the front strut bar for the 420a with the 2 bar design, but the 4g63 design is much akin to a regular old bar.

If you want to use a DC sport CS2 strut tower up front; you either need to convert to a side terminal battery or just buy one that sits an inch+ lower than the stock battery. All of that is just to avoid any electric fire .

Yup. There is a post on that very important for the DC strut bar runners

Thank you for posting this.

I didn't get a battery that sat lower when I installed mine..I got that foam padding used for rol cages and put that over the battery..Havn't had one problem with it..It looks kinda stupid but does the trick..

Neuspeed front struts are the best (being as they are a one piece and very close to the firewall), unfortunately they are also discontinued. DC Sports will do the job though.
