Rare 4 Point Strut Brace - Revolution Motoring Communications *Price Dropped to Sell*

Category: Steering & Suspension
Price: $450
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): MN
Item Condition: Used

Guys and gals,

To my knowledge this is the rarest 4-point strut brace in the US. Initially it was the main reason I would pop the hood at car meets.

Another 8 owner asked after test driving my car if I had installed an upgraded sway bar. When he drove my car no other suspension mods were present except this brace. He could feel the better steering response.

Dress up your engine bay

Increase the torsional rigidity of your vehicle.

Revolution or Revo-Tune (Motoring Communications), have been involved with tuning NSX and rotary vehicles for some time. They also build complete tuned vehicles under the AS-Auto brand. They build many components in house and also source the best available components for their kits from the best of Japanese manufacturers. Their quality finish is second to none.

The Revolution Aluminium strut tower bars feature superior construction from high grade base Aluminium with strong welds for increased rigidity. Strut Bar Size is 40mm wide

In fitting this strut brace the suspension mount points are prevented from moving relative to each other, thus limiting camber changes under load. This gives the car a more predictable feel and better steering response on the limit. May also reduce chassis rattles and creaks when driving over bumpy roads.

Easily fitted in around 1 hour by the DIY mechanic as this 4 Point tower bar requires extra time to install due to firewall attachment.

$900 $675 450 Shipped Continental US

Kudos to WTBrotary for the thread crapping.

Some justification on the pricing.

To get this here from Japan was $900, plus the three month wait through customs. If I posted it for less my inbox would fill. I know there is interest for this as it is one of the best on the market.

Well considering there is some hearsay on the fact that our factory strut bars and even the MS strut bar contribute to understeer (per TopGear aka MikeKuhn). While not a whole lot, they still contribute. I'm curious to see what this bar would do...

Thread crap or not, $700 is going to be a hard buy for a strut bar IMO, I guess time will tell, but you say there is interest, so like I said before...

Good luck with sale...

Very sexy bar. If I didn't buy my JIC four point...I would've definitely considered this.

Free bump for you sir.

Stop thread crapping in every damn for sale thread that has something out of your price range...


Price is beyond reasonable for the Revo strut bar. OP GETS A FREE BUMP!

Are you interested in this? I think not. What's it to you whether it's priced right or not. Whether it sells or not. Just move on.
BTW, thread crapping in the classifieds is against the rules. Read them.

^^^ what are you talking about. When I posted "done" on your FS thread I wanted to buy your car cover, never got a PM. So I'm not sure where you are getting your attitude from, this is the only FS thread I've voiced my opinion on...

OP,Al, sorry I'm a douchebag...

Really nice bar...a nice enhancement for an SII, and a huge upgrade for SI owners. I ended up doing the AutoExe 6 point kit myself...if I hadn't have bought that, I would have LOVED a Revo piece, seeing as their parts are, like AutoExe, exceptional quality. Kudos on a nice part choice, and GLWS.

I was going to have one engineered off of this. It wouldn't take much work to do since there are good bolt points that could be used. I'm not planning to track my car like I had planned to so I dropped the focus on it.

Warrior777,

How much do you like your Ohlins coilovers? I am itching to put my new set in. I am waiting till the car gets painted. I have carbon fiber trunk and fenders and can't stand the way the lines of the car are broke up not having it the same color.

I enjoy the Ohlin's, they are great for occasional track duty and daily driving. They have held up really well with no leakage. They are rebuildable too.

That is exactly what I was hoping for with the Ohlins.

Strut brace is still available.
