DC Sports doesn't make these strut bars anymore. Don't be surprised or pissed off if your order gets canceled.

u may have to tap the brackets over a little bit so the bar fits in. Because at first the bar is a little short.

Stop bitching Steve, you got a deal anyway.

well, JCwhitney does that. they will take your order and after a while, when they can't get it from a supplier, they will email to you, or ship you a letter that will explain that they couldn't get it.
I would be suprised if they will get it.

Wasn't bitching son. Just simply pointing out that I had to buy it from you instead of a vendor.

I don't want to tell you how many places i called that said they had something in stock but really didnt. I place an order 2 times for the infamouse DC Sports cat back exhaust and called both places before placing my order and then i got a call a few days later with the bad news. I was real mad the 2nd time around because he said he had it for sure yet DC stopped production very early on.

I might be selling my Poshied DC Strut bar if it dont fit with my B20A so keep your eyes in the market place.

They are out of production. Ace got lucky. Sometimes these places have leftovers sitting in a warehouse. Once that supply is gone, you can't get them. I had the same problem when I was looking for Konis. A bunch of sites had them listed but when I ordered, they couldn't get them. I called Koni directly and a few speed shops to see if some were sitting somewhere and I didn't have any luck. I was only able to get fronts. Then a couple months later, some dude found all 4 somewhere.

Eh, I can't say you'll notice much difference cause you won't. A set of 15's or 16's with lower profile tires will really help me. I even felt more of a difference just by putting 14's on when my suspension was stock.

Ace
02-24-2005, 04:03 PM
I dont now I loved um on my dx I loved the ride and the handling was great everyones got a opinion but mine is stock suspension sucks :lol: :lol:

I meant the strut bar, not the springs and struts. I totally agree on the sucking of the stock suspension. As soon as I installed my shit, I fell in love with the car again. Handles so sweetly. Need lower pro tires tho. When mine is sitting still, the sidewall flexes so much, I can push the car back and forth.

Ace
02-24-2005, 07:16 PM
yea I agree I think the strut bar is more appearance than anything I am getting pirelli low pros on 16 inch konig rims in a month in a 1/2

danronian
02-24-2005, 08:08 PM
I can't wait until the snow is gone and I can put back on my 16in rims, damn they handle SOO much better than the 14in stockers. That combined with the strut bar I am going to get and the poly bushings I installed on the front bar and it should be much better than last summer, now I just need a thicker back sway bar and possibly a strut bar if I decide to move my amps.

Well coudn't find a dc strut bar or header. I guess i will have to go with pacesetter for the header and no strut bar till i find a used one.

Oh shit. I never took notice he's got a DX until now. That will not fit. The carb is in the way. Even if you take the air box off, it doesn't fit.
