Strut tower bars

[b-b00gie]

Just in case anyone was wondering... for a P11 G20
Stillen now makes front AND rear strut tower bars. there was also some discrepancies in the past as to the application years but in their new catalog they have the following listings...

99-00 G20 front, part #307040
99-00 G20 rear, part #307520

i called and they also fit 2001 models.. they just werent out yet as they were revising their new catalogs for printing...


P10 owners still only have a front bar available...

91-96 G20 front, part #307014

Thanks, that's good to know! I was in the market for some front and rear STB's. How much are the Stillen STB's? If it's from Stillen, I'm pretty sure they're a lot.

[b-b00gie]

not sure.. i didnt ask when i called... doh!!

[Nismoboy1]

I checked www.stillen.com and it shows that the front stb is $206.75...kinda expensive...so the rear bar I'd expect to be around the same price.

[Nismoboy1]

whoa...I was just surfing around and ran into this
home.catv.ne.jp/dd/checker/overseas/checkerflag.html they carry a carbon fiber STB made by FET for 33,000 yen, so ~ $270 USD. I wonder if this obtainable anywhere..hmm...just a thought

[b-b00gie]

yep... thats the one i'm getting but it's VERY expensive for a strut tower bar..

$350 - 400







btw.. on the stillen bar... it may be cheaper if you call them.. they usually mark up their web prices

[Nismoboy1]

Damn, that's expensive just imagine your stuck at home one day cause you aint got gas in your ride but who cares theirs a nice FET STB under the hood j/k who needs gas anyways...that sh*ts getting expensive too :zx11pisse

[InfinAge]

That FET STB would go really good with a brand new carbon fiber hood.

I can get the Stillen strut bar, front and rear for $180 each. Shipping is about $10?

Anyway, yeh, the FET bar is tight, GAB also makes strut bars for our car. But the GAB ones looks a bit to plain for $200!!

[b-b00gie]

yeah theres a few others too, but they are too plain so i paid them no mind... lol, i'm a sucker for good looks

[primera man]

That carbon one like very nice.
Makes mine like very plain looking

Question: aside from pure looks, why will a rear strut tower bar help chassis stiffness since it has rear multilink beam?

It reminds me of the time when Stillen sold front "camber plates" for the P10...

[2002G20Racer]

That FET bar would go real well with that carbon fiber dash i got a few days ago. Im real fan of carbon fiber, to bad its so expensive... But anyways I added the bar to my "hope to get some day" list. Hahaha

[b-b00gie]

maybe Luke can hook us up with a deal, as I've been wanting one too but it's pretty expensive for a strut tower bar. Not to mention shipping it here, the actual cost of the FET bar in Japan is about double of other bars..

damn, that sure is a beauty. I have no carbon fiber trimming on my G, so probably go with the standard stainless.
