i don't know where the others cause problems for you but the s204 bar is like any other strut bar--i have one and it hangs just like the other ones--only difference is that the passenger side of the bar isn't as thick as most rear bars

Mine came in today!

So does it do anything or just add weight and obstruct already horrible rear view? For $30 I'm ready to find out for myself.lol

I;ll take a pic tomorrow looking through my rearview mirror when i install it

Chris05STi · 03-26-2008, 08:02 PM

Sorry, haven't had time to install it. Just went Stg2 on my WRX and put Motul in the tranny and rear diff

I finally installed the C-Pillar brace in the STi. Its pretty interesting to find out that the brace I bought is made by Megan Racing. It came in a box with Megan Racing all over it, and even has a Megan Racing logo in the center. I tried different positions for the brace mounts, and this was the best that I believe works. It also doesn't block your vision from the rear window. I will however paint it to match the roll cage, and paint the mounting braces a nicer black. Pics to come later when I do that!

Interesting. I have the Spec-C tank and have a (E-bay) strut brace mounted as well. There are zero clearance issues, even with the cap.

Why the hell would they post a sale if they don't even have the item?

Genki tuning, the vendor I went through has 2 carbon bars up. Not that you wanted a carbon one: eBay Seller: genkituning: crx c pillar, Parts Accessories items on eBay Motors

I'll save my $30, considering I am pulling together parts for the turbo build.

***snorky*** · 03-28-2008, 06:25 AM

Chris, is it like a whole new car with the bar installed? Are you able to pull 0.1g more on the skid pad with the new bar?
