**Pending feedback from group buy one, group by 2 will proceed. I have had alot of feedback and eagerness to do a second group buy to allow others to get their chance to get this product.**

Those who have responded with the desire to get in this second group buy please reserve your spot here, and hold payment until I notify you that we are ready to continue.


All Questions and concerns please contact: Mitch Kadel (mkii_supra_freak)

This will the second round of the offical group buy for the Solid Mount Strut Bar that has been developed over the last few months. There will be two options available listed below, but all are made of first quality materials and made by skilled tradesmen. At this time I have confirmed that it will accommodate every year mkii, with the following engine configurations. 5M, 6M, 7mgtes, 1jz & 2jzgte. They are also compatable with the rabid chimp intake pipe, front mount intercooler kit, and the T3 Camber plates.

The minimum quantity that will be required for this group by is 15-20 pieces.

The following options include shipment to the continental us. I am willing to do international shipping but there will be an additional expense for shipment, please contact me by PM for questions concerning this option.


Complete Strut Bar assembly fabricated out of aircraft grade 6061-T6 Aluminum, with SS hardware.

**Pricing Changes**

Due to increases at the post office, and additional packing costs the prices have increased by $10.

These Bars will also be sold as recieved from the manufacturer, to allow you to finish them as you desire. They Paint and polish beautifully. DO NOT POWDERCOAT.

Polishing can be had at $60 for a mirror polish due to the time required to do these bars properly.

6061-T6 Strut Assembly with NO Toyota Logo $240 Shipped [If Paypal ($247.00)]

6061-T6 Strut Assembly with Toyota Logo $260 Shipped [If Paypal ($270.00)]

VERY anxiously waiting for delivery. It can't come soon enough!

Thanks for the update,

I honestly have not had enough time to commit to working on the rear triangulation setup. I have some good ideas, both those that wouldn't require modification tot he rear hatch carpet area, and a more serious version that would.

One of my primary ideas is to combine the triangulation with shock tower stiffeners, to knock out 2 birds if you will.

After I get this round of bars inspection, packaged and shipped out I will focus more on this solution.

How much longer for the rear bars?

OK for some reason after Malloy hid this thread I have been unable to Respond to this thread, for over a week at this time. I had to create this Account in order to respond.

Update:

Front bars that are to not be polished are in my possession.

All rear bars and fronts to be polished are still at the polishers. The polisher is providing an unacceptable delay of service, they will not be reused in the future.

I will get an update Monday morning as far as the status, and when I should receive the polished units.

All bars to be unpolished, and not to be shipped with a rear bar will go out on Monday.

All Front bars are packaged and awaiting arrival of rear bars. They will be shipped the next day after receipt.

Sorry for the delays encountered, resulting from the polisher. This problem has been dealt with, and will not reoccur.

so are you still going to build the upgraded rear bar? just wondering the details on this, I loved the front one and would love one for the back but if you are working on a 2.0 version of it I will just wait. Curious if the rear bar could also be used for a harness bar? If you had long straps that is, just curious? thanks again Mitch!!

I am working on a Version 2.0 of the bar right now, combining a tie in with the shock tower mounts. And another option with a battery box to be held in between the combination x brace. Again the concept would be scalable to my designs. I am going to try to maintain a philosophy of upgradeability to every component I design. So if individuals would like to purchase a complete product, or build up to it piece by piece it will be there.

I would advise again using this bar to hold on shoulder harnesses as well, due to the length between the harness and the driver. Personally I would think this would be too dangerous. The alterative Harness bar Rabid Chimp produces would be a great addition to any cabin.

At this time I am getting things in order to become a vendor, but have many projects to get me there. Stay tuned for more exciting things to come. Thinks are about to get Freaky!

Glad you like the product. I have made the decision that this will be the last run allowing a non finished product.

Being the perfectionist I am there will only be two finishing options in the future.

Polished or Anodized Black.

If there is continued interest after this run, I will begin to stock these items. For both the Front and Rear Bar variants. Simplifying the process, and lead time for all those involved.
