    Well I don't like eye candy, but I know that BMP Design sells CF and billet aluminum strut bars... not cheap though. There are also normal strut bars around... those are just welded steel and can be found anywhere.

    thanks..

    anfanger... if i said i needed them for added rigidity, i'd be lying cuz i don't track my car and I don't believe i can tell THAT much from city driving.. that's why i said i needed a strut brace as an accessory more than a suspension-improving component...

    but i can't find anything on BMP, i think i'll go with AA...

    Well strut bars don't work for street apps, so no problem : . BMP's online catalog sucks... just order the catalog and you'll get it by mail in a week or so. Lots of other great stuff in the catalog too. But no big deal, AA strut bar - BMP strut bar, both pieces of metal that sit in your engine bay .

    If you want looks mainly..

    Check on e-bay and other places. No need to pay full price.

    Also there are some no-name brands out there that look just fine, and they probably work as well as most, too.:

    hansen,
    it says in your sig you have an AA strut bar on order?
    so did you decide on that or are just seeing what else is available?

    :
    That's what I was thinking... : ... I have never got a quote anywhere near that low, too ship anything, big, little, or any size... ... the most recent quotes for shipping I got was 125 USD (too ship a $144USD Foglight Kit)... well over that price too ship a set of Clears...

    Its useless... I am going too start my own Shipping Company...
