Re: strut bars

Yes you can go with just a front or rear strut brace if you want. Also have a look at local venders and see what they offer. Most strut bars are very similar.

Re: strut bars

Fronts are nearly useless on a 2g. 1) 2Gs dont even use a strut type suspension (in the sense of using the strut as the upper control arm) so there is nothing to brace. 2) the firewall is 6" behind the shock towers, which is a much more effective brace than a piece of 3/4" steel tubing. With all the work I do on my car, I would never use one anyway.

Now a rear brace will be much more beneficial since there is little to no useful bracing in the rear. So I would go rear if you only get one.
