Its Back!! Richie Front Strut Bar V.2....buy NOW!

**NO longer a group buy!! Bars can be purchased immediately!!

WE brought you the first version and now we've made improvements to bring you this new version....NO waiting list & NO back orders here!!

With the large success of the last group buy (mainly due to you guys here), we've just received our new shipment of strut bars, but this with a few changes/additions/improvements. The strut bar is made from high quality T-6061 Aluminum and the mounts are made from Stainless steel. This bar is a replica of the ARC bar and mounts the exact same way.

Heres a picture showing the hardware included:



and a cut-out showing the internal structure/design:



So what are the differences between the V1 and the V2?

First, and most apparent, is the Version 2 comes with a highly polished bar








Secondly, we've made some minor tweaks to the mounts to improve fitment. The first change was made to the mounting holes. We simply elongated the holes to better accommodate plenums/spacers. See the picture below.



Lastly, we re-directed the inner wall of the mounts so that they would fit most coilover applications.


The best thing about this newer version is that we were able to make these changes WITHOUT increasing the price a single penny!!

This bar has been confirmed to fit on both coupes and sedans, 2003 to present. The bar clears ALL current plenum upgrades on the market as well. However, it will not fit if you are Stillen supercharged. This strut bar has been confirmed to clear the Vortec supercharger (thanks Brando)! Fitment may also vary slightly depending on various carbon fiber hood applications. Under the factory hood, the bar slightly touches the hood insulator, but is not a problem. This strut bar might NOT work with some aftermarket coilovers - adjustment **** on struts extends upwards too much and hits the tower bracket. Works with Tein BASICS, Flex + EDFC, ....

Now for the pricing. The price is $225 SHIPPED (this was the same GB price last time) to the lower 48 (APO/Canadian orders please add $25)!! The MSRP for the bar is $299 + shipping. We anticipate to sell these bars at a regular price of $275 shipped. Anyone that is interested should send the amount of $225 via Paypal to maydang18@yahoo.com. Once payment is received, strut bar will be shipped within 1 working day with USPS 3 Day Priority Mail (except if payment is made on the weekend).

Since I do not have a storefront - and am pretty busy with work and school...I'm shipping these out. It is faster/easier to shipout all orders than to coordinate time/location/date on pickups (also only save about $10 anyways). I do come out to Chino meets once in a while so I could bring a few out there if there are buyers.
