Rear strut bar

in all honesty, the rear stb is pretty much useless. my friend was ordering some parts from japan at the same time so i'd figure i'd throw my hundred in there to save on some shipping. the rear of the SC is pretty sturdy so a stb back there isn't really needed.

Oh god are you serious lol. Friggin import E bates and E ego's with the rolling eyes.
Tell you what. If your so sure there isn't one then put your money where your mouth is, because I'm not about to buy a strut bar to just shut you up. Send me the $155 and i'll post the pic of the bar on my car. If i'm wrong I'll send you back the money with an additional $50.
People told me there wasn't a veilside bar for the civic yet I had one on there. People told me that lht performance didn't make headers for supercharged civics yet I had one. I've had some te37's painted in top secret gold by rays engineering. I had people hate because of 1 sticker a mag or net told them should be on to make it official. They swore it was another color but when I brought up that the fact it doesn't match any of the golds they mentioned or the ones rays had and the wheels were special order. I had a shop request that color from rays they still remained in denial. I brought up the fact that the color and wheel has been on and off since the late 90's and other people that had it verified it as such. Still they couldn't handle the fact they, the net and option mags could be innacurate.
My point is not everything is on the net or is going to be out there like BUY ME!!
Oh and your attempt to try and play off the fact you were wrong is accepted. Actually no before you comment on the company I'd actually think about these points.
1. If it is a knock off company then that would emply it's a knockoff which means a copy, which means there was an actual part.
2. Who here is fluent in reading symbols and jdm characters? And who here knows every part ever made for the sc300?
3. Hoebag could be right but wouldn't they have their logo on it much like password jdm etc does when they copy other peoples ish. It's a jdm company they do it different. Not to mention have you looked at their ish? Just cause you haven't heard of the company doesn't mean it's a knockoff company.
Do you actually read the stuff you put?
Your stating your lack of current info on the matter yet your trying to call me out by telling me to have mine straight. Your most recent update on the product brand was a few years back. When I checked with a friend on the bar months ago. Then you were proved wrong and you try to play it off by discrediting a company who's page you can't even read
. cmon...

The bars (especially rear) have dubious value because the car is stiff to begin with, particularly the rear of the SC. They do have a bling factor and set your car apart and that is its own appeal for some.
I have a front strut bar and used it the SC on HPDE with it in place and w/o. I'm not capable of deserning a difference on my Supra suspension and wheels, so I pulled it.

I kinda suspected this to be the case glad I got it confirmed.

I still campaign for the Carbing one-piece aluminum with the built on master cyl. support that is still in devel. A rear one would look good and wouldnt hurt if you had the extra money.
