Tein Strut Bar

Does anyone have a picture of this item installed? I searched but could not find anything.

Shhhh, yes I just found out.

Edit, I received an email back from Tein and in fact this is the correct part number and it MSRP's for $210.00 so this looks like a good deal. But they said any authorized Tein dealer could get it.

that's a crappy design, the Mazdaspeed/JIC bar is much better

I'd have to agree with Team here. The master cylinder brace on the Mazdaspeed bar is probably the best feature of any aftermarket strut tower bar out there. Other than that I see no reason to swap the stock 2 point bar for an aftermarket 2 point bar.

I have emailed them for clarification of the specific design of the bar because there are two styles and the only pic I can find is on an STI. I think it's the oval bar but the round bar is adjustable

Last time I inquired about this bar it was stated as discontinued: http://www.tein.com/products/perform...rice_list.html

You can't even find it on their home website so I doubt it is available.

Dang it. I'd hate to order it from the other site and never get it.
