Neon Strut Bar With Stock GT on Top - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #30985 18 posts Started by Chanh55
Just picked up lewfx's old dodge neon strut bar and made a 3point strut myself. I spray painted it black so it'll match my stock one.

btw, i like the look of that stock strut bar with the neon one.. keeps it looking stock and not so flashy looking.

i like your c-one bumper too. can't wait til mine comes in... still waiting for boosted6g to ship my parts.

I have the Megan Racing neon brace and I'm not really sure if it does much. It was pretty cheap, so I'm not too upset about it. It looks pretty, and looks like it should do something. That kinda goes against what I believe, but I've been told if I really test it, it will help. There's no way it couldn't do something. I'll shoot for the TRD and those braces in the fenders. That should really help.

I'm not sure I notice anything very drastic. Uneven pavement and stuff doesn't seem to make as much noise. But I think the only way to find out is to hit the track or something.
I just took it off... I noticed that it was so tight that it literally made one side higher than the other, so there's a bigger gap between the wheels on the right and a tiny itty bitty gap on the left.

Freakin lewfx made it so tight I can't untighten it... oh well.

Try a longer breaker-bar? I had to borrow my friends 2.5ft bar to get the bolts out!

The guy claims this one is an injen cai but I don't think injen made any cold airs for us.
