Hey i was wondering where people are getting the front strut-brace i think they are also known as Sway bars. i love their look.

Strut brace/Sway bar

it is the bar that goes from the top of the suspension over the engine.

My GTS came with it. There are other companies claiming to have stiffer versions that supposedly help....but at least our GTS's came with it.

RRM makes them... and as far as I know, they are the only people that do make them.

RRM Front Strut Bar (Red)

RRM Front Strut Bar (Silver)

Works makes the rear strut bars, although I have no idea why they don't make the front strut bar.

Hey Works... you listening? FRONT STRUT BARS PLEASE!

Strut bars and Sway bars are two totally different things.

Strut bars are the one's in your picture which go between the struts on top, and the swaybars are underneath the car.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing...

... why doesn't Works have a front strut bar?

You'd think that would be one of the easier products to develop and manufacture... meaning high margins. It's a very popular mod, and RRM has a monopoly right now. Hrmm....

I figure i will be paying nearly 300 with shipping from RRM i dont think the dealer will go that high. I really like the black one. Dont like RRM's colors or shape. Strut Bars really only make a massive difference in higher performance cars IMO. I'm just in it for the looks :)!

I just realized that the Lancer GTS came with it today when I opened the hood. :thumbsup: I haven't yet open the hood since I purchased the car and I didn't look at it when I was at the dealer.

I have a 08 lancer es.. and i want to get a front sturt. The only place that seems to have one is RRM but i dont like the look. The RRM strut looks cheap in design. I talked to the dealer and they said that the struts for the evoX should fit my model. Has anyone attempted this yet. I really want to to get a Tein front strut. They have them out for the evoX now.

Check the bolt pattern and match it to your car. They should fit.
