Hey Guys,

As some of you know i am making front strut tower bars for our 1st gens. These are going to be one peice bars. Mandrel bent 1.5" diameter 4130 Chromoly bars with mild steel 1/8" thick mounting plates. The prototype is ready, i will pick it up on Wednesday of this week.

What i need here is a list of interested ppl. I know some of you have already expressed interest, but if you could please post here to make it official The bars will come powder coated the same color as the lower tie bars (Metallic Grey) Unless there is more demand for a silver color.

This thread is merely to gauge the interest and initial quantity of the first run. The Sign-ups, order info, pics and details will be in the "Group Buys" forums. I will provide a link here after wednesday, when i have the part in hand.

whats the price range gonna go for one of them?

beachnut

Uh, YEAH!

mazdaspeedwest

Not sure as of yet, the design changed a few times. I will have all the details once i pick it up and make sure it fits good.

ballpark is around $150-180 All depends on how many i order and how the design changes effect material and labor.

Stop making all these good group buys -- you're breaking the bank

I'm in !

mazdaspeedwest

Well, i'm gonna need a bit more time for these....wires got crossed and a small detail left out....bottom line...design was wrong, back to square one.

Sorry guys, this was my bad, i gave him a wrong dimension. But we came up with a few other ideas that we'll explore and go from there.

It's not over!!!

mazdaspeedwest

7.
8.
7.
10.

Hope to get 10 to start, but will go with what we have if nobody else steps up....thier loss So step up!

Ideas are still being kicked around and my time has been very limited. but i hope to have something within 1-2 weeks.

mazdaspeedwest

I'll try to get both done at the same time. So yes, a kit.

The hard part is the fact i must pull these parts off my car....and i've had some on, some off for the past few races and the car is different each time.....kinda frustrating

on a small side note, my front lower tie bar has been off some awhile now. I put it back on for last nights race and wow, it's a new car all over again. Back to normal Amazing how much of a difference it really makes.
