I got a 3G strut bar for my I4. Why you buying from the dealer for? You can find them much cheaper online.

It depends where you are at, the dealers have different princing sometimes.

perfect fit, BUT, it wont bolt onto the firewall like the eclipse one does. just the strut towers.

did you drill holes??

did you drill holes??

drill holes for what?

[hsinya]

theres nothing to drill. it wont bolt into the firewall because it doesnt reach the firewall, unless u want to fabricate some kind of triangle brace.

just it in from mitsubishiparts.net but its missing the bolts.

where did you guys get your bolts? would local home depot have it?

[pinoyesv6]

the nuts or the studs?

home depot would have the nuts.

the dealer would have both. stuff like that isn't too expensive at the dealer

[lonestar22]

ooh i thot it was triangular, so umm.. dont goto lewisville mitsu, they tried to charge me $119 for mine

Just need the nuts, went to Home Depot and they told me that they don't sell metric nuts! :roll:
have to look at other hardware stores

[pinoyesv6]

your home depot is messed up. every home depot or lowes that i've been to sell metric nuts. its right next to the metric bolts in the drawer units. there's always the auto parts store too

I just intalled this bar.
Everything went great no problems except the nuts. Home Depot did not have the 8mm grade 5 nor 8. I had to settle for the regular 8mm with lock washers for the moment.

I had forgotten what a difference this bar made since I had it on the previous I4. It totally works, though I still wish that it would go straight from tower to tower.

I recommend this to anyone who does not have a strut bar and is on a budget. It works.

And by the way, I was not lazy this time. I grinded the unnecessary brackets off
:biggrin:
