Default Fs: Carbing made Carson Tuned front strut bar

selling a carbing polished front upper strut bar.

asking $365 shipped anywhere to 48 states.

price is FIRM cause shipping cost has gone way up, not like years ago you can ship anything for less than 20 bucks.

Op is this a Gen 1 bar (fits over the existing strut brackets)
or a Gen 2 bar (replaces said mounting brackets and fits into the strut tower groves)?
Thanks.

Good question....OP please clarify.

The first batch of STBs had that problem...the diameter of the hole of the mounts were too small. The second batch was fine.

as far as i know, they just slip on the studs.
i never had any problems installing it on my car, if ever you can use a large screwdriver to 'pry' it on.

That is the Carson STB made by Carbing. Just like the UGO roofie sold under the Carson name and many other items. They are the real deal parts rebadged after being discontinued.

go back and CAREFULLY read what i wrote........i know its real and i acknowledged it. i said this was about the same price if i recall correctly i paid for my replica version of this bar so this price for a real one is a good deal.

i DIDNT know the UGO roof was sold under the carson name though

My bad, when you said "Carson Replica" I thought you meant you bought it from Carson Toyota thinking it was a replica of the Carbing STB. Either way, who made the replica? I never knew this STB had been dubbed. Post some pics.

OP, sorry for the chat!

To anyone thinking of buying an STB, to my knowledge this is the only STB that can run EDFC motors without flex mounting brackets on the bar. Which is what you would want out of a STB.
