Hey guys,

I've lost the bolt and nuts that go through the strut mounts and bar to hold it all as one...question 1.) Do you think its ok if I just go to home depot and get a double side threaded fitting bolt with matching buts? 2.) Do you know where to get an original replacement if option 1 isn't safe? Thanks.

Ashtray

 

I don't think it would matter too much, but if you are really concerned get a high-grade bolt. Option one, even with the high-grade bolt will probably be cheaper than option 2.

Also, I don't think strut bars add a huge benefit to the handling. I have one myself and don't notice much. Maybe they are just more efficient at high speed cornering than anything else.

 

actually i kinda laugh at all the people that get the strut bars on the sc/soarer bc our cars have a A arm double wishbone set up and doesn't really do anything for the car... looks nice depending on the car tho.

 

I have a strut bar and I know for a fact it does make a noticeable difference.

 

keep it on topic!

 

shouldn't matter too much, u want something lightweight.... as long as u get either locking washers with nuts or locking nuts. if u want function then that should be enough. if u want car show bling then u prolly want cusco replacements.

 

Yeah saving money is a good thing right now.

Luckily my car came with it...and there is a very noticeable difference when you remove it.

I agree.
Yeah I'll probably get locking washers with nuts although I seem to recall the original piece being a locking nut.
