1998 Strut Bar into a 1999??
I'm having a hard time finding a strut bar for my 1999 Pro. I found a place that has bars for up to a 1998. Does any one know if I can modify the 1998 bar to fit. Thanks for your help.

In case you need the URL, here it is. http://www.corksport.com/
Can't go wrong for $59. If your car has cruise control, you will need to trim the bracket that mounts the cruise control unit to the passenger shock tower for the strut tower bar bracket to fit correctly. It's not too difficult, I have the same bar and did the modification to the bracket.

They sell the strut bar from the Protege5 which should be a direct bolt on. I'm still waiting on mine to be shipped.

Will this bar fit in a 99? The site says 2001-2002.

Got my strut bar from corksport finally.
Sure makes a diference.
Only thing is to cut the cruise control mount bracket, but other than this, worth the investment.
