but doesnt the v6 on the eclipse stick up the same ammount as the v6 on the galant?

yes. that's why if the DC I4 bar does not fit the V6 3G, it won't fit the V6 8G either.

Does it indeed look like mine? Or did you get it from eBay?

[dknight3]

i got it from ebay, i cant find the damn camera though...
its not round.

Than it's not Megan (according to Megan). You just bought an unauthorized knock-off. :( Let us know how it holds up :)

[dknight3]

haha i dont think its a knock off but ill tell you how it hold up.

if it is a knock off they must have put a lot of work into making it look real.

[mindwerkz]

They promised me those weren't the ones for our car. If it IS made by them, than it's for a different make and or model and someone's figured out that they fit Galants. How much clearance do you have above the battery and plenum and such?

The welded one that gets me hot...

" The Carbing Tower Bar is a completely welded piece (no pivot points) with a 5mm thick base plate, which makes it truly functionally in reducing chassis flex.
It is constructed of A6063S aluminum for superior rigidity and light weight.
The built-in brake master cylinder stopper allows the driver increased brake pedal feel which gives the driver greater control.
This two in one bar is not only fully functional but is also beautifully crafted."

EDIT - oh yeah. Tein told me that if anyone of us are planning on getting any Tein dampers with EDFC, this is the only bar they recommend us using with the EDFC. Apparently it's made to fit it perfectly. I'm sure 90% of the others discussed would work fine though.

Wich aplication will fit on the 8G V6

Read the post. :P You quoted it. 3G Eclipse Spyder

[dknight3]

yea it was probably made for a different car it just barely fits, its really tight.
but it works, and it looks good.

Does Tein makes a strut bar for the 3G eclipse?And does it fit on the 8G v6?[/u]

[mindwerkz]

Tein doesn't but Carbing does (same level of quality, distributed by Tein). It's listed for the V6 Eclipse Spyder but I've had a number of mechanics (including one at the dealership) tell me there's no reason it shouldn't fit ours. It's expensive though. $350

I want one down the road.

I really dont see much difference between this one and the stock 3G bar.

[mindwerkz]

It's got a connection to the master brake cylinder which supposedly keeps the brakes from feeling all nasty after driving hard for awhile. Other than that I think it's just lighter, and the base plates are certified by Tein to not get in the way of EDFC wrenches.
