what car is it listed for?
a better upgrade would be to buy anti-sway bars

Yes it will fit :)

ive always wanted a strut bar, but how much differance can you really tell, im waiting on a chrome one :D

I had the GM Strut tower brace on my 2002 Cavalier. I noticed that there wasn't as much flex in the front end. Some people say they don't notice the difference but it helps lessen the amount of flex in the body (front) and allows the wheels to be planted down to the ground a little more during cornering. If anyone wants to add or correct me if i'm wrong go ahead.. at least that's the impression i got

Are any of the supporting vendors going to be making strut bar's? i really want to dress up the engine a little bit.

Even if the one from www.rsmracing.com will fit, $300 is way overpriced, i have seen them for around 175 for other cars before.

$300!!! That's way expensive. You can buy the Eibach Anti-Roll kit for that much. When I bought the GM one for the cavalier it was only $60. And i've seen others between 100-150. Anything more than that is way overpriced

I think if enough people would contact www.bmrfabrication.com they just might make these.

I would prefer a black one from GM like they did for the Cavaliers. That RSM one doesnt even look good at all.

I really want a strut bar, will this one fit a 05 cobalt ss? i doubt anyone would know, but even though its for the 2.2/ION will it fit you think?

If not: Are any of the supporting vendors planning on doing one for our car? :)

i would be interested in this also

It looks like it would fit. It looks like engine bay of an SS/SC but with a 2.2l ecotec. $149 is wayyyy better of a price. Too bad GM didn't make the Strut Bars come stock with a SS/SC, i dunno.

that would have been awesome, im thinking about going to the saturn dealer and ordering this one, and if it doesnt work i can return it, since i bought it in person

If anyone finds out if this will work or not please let the word out.

well im going to find out myself, im going to go order this part and try it out, if not do you think they would let me return it, im not going to throw away $150...

I woul definately be in for around 100- 150. and that anti roll kit from eibach where can i get that for cheaper than from them?

I have only seen the anti roll kit from Eibach for sale by like one vendor, i guess over time more people will start to sell more :) hopefully

well im going to find out myself, im going to go order this part and try it out, if not do you think they would let me return it, im not going to throw away $150...


If you can't return it i'm sure you could re-sell it to a saturn owner on the redline forums or something

Well i sent some vendors on here an email, and got this from modern performance!! :D

"Yes we are in the works and should have good news to come with time but no ETA at the moment "

So i will just wait for them, becuase i would like a direct fit, and not take my chances with buying the saturn one, although it may fit :thumb:

Well I would think if it fits the 2.2 that it would fit the LSJ too.

agreed

i know it says for 2.2 only, but dont we have the same setup under the hood.

dam thats an awesome price, and dc is a pretty good brand, ill be going with that one it looks like, when it lists one for a SS :D

when i get it in ill try to see if i cant try it on my friends ss and ill let u guys know. if i cant get hold of him ill just test drive one to my house and find out haha.

ryan

sweet man, let us know!

honeslty as of right now dont purchase n e thing from rsm racing. they went downhill. so i would suggest not to purchase n e thing from them. hince why i never committed to the gp of the strut bar from them a while back, because they never gave me details.

I am not a mechanic and don't KNOW that the 2.2 brace will fit but it looks like the only issue is will it clear the master cylinder. In the pics looks like that is the only thing it comes close to. The sturt towers will be the same across the board. There has to be a 2.0 brace out by now anyways and if not the company should have a tech dept for Q & A.

Ryan,
We have a hard time keeping this strut bar in stock. We have these on order right now with DCSports and the next set to come in will be yours. We are expecting them sometime in the next week. Sorry for the wait.
Thanks and let us know if you have any other questions.




commmmmmmmmme onnnnnnn i dont dont wanna wait. its always my luck that people NEVER have the item i order in stock. :mad:

and if u didnt notice im not very patient.

I just bought the DC strut tower brace from Modern Performance.. it fits the SS 2.0 fine.

How do you like it? Any noticable difference that you can tell? A little less roll/flex in turns?

thats cool that it will fit both cars

How is it?

Hows the install? Any hole that had to be drilled?

We have the new DC sports strut bar IN STOCK for the 2.2, and the 2.0 Cobalts.

Its a really nice piece, powdercoated, american made, solid bar! Plus its only $87.99 !!

Our webmaster didnt put the pictures up, but we have some pictures of the strut bar installed on our 2.0 SS, and it looks awesome !! Its a tight fit, but it helps make the car a little more solid, and its very inexpensive !!

Hows the install? Any hole that had to be drilled?

It was a breeze, took 5 minutes. Just unscrew the two closer bolts on each side of the strut tower and slide the brace in....the drivers side "slides" over the threaded screws, and the passenger side has holes that go over the screws. Probably confusing, I'll try and get pics.

EDIT: ToFu. look at the pic of the strut bar above your post . we can see how u slide it in and bolt it down on the other side. thanks for the look out

Tofu is there any noticable difference while cornering? Is it worth 87 bucks?

To be honest, more than anything I noticed my rattles in my dash go away more than a difference in handling. Don't get me wrong you can feel a difference in the cornering (seems to take them with less body roll) than before, but it's probably not as noticeable as maybe some drop springs per say. Definitely worth the money IMO...the rattles were annoying, and the chassis *feels* stiffer.

paying 87 bucks just get rid of the rattling is worth it if u ask me :lol:

It's $87 bux. The GM one for the Cavaliers cost that much. That's a deal! And u can probably paint it whatever color u want.

Moderneco: Are they on your website?

They are on their website! I actually just ordered mine!

They are on their website! I actually just ordered mine!
me too!

modernceo- you guys should really set up an online system of ordering your items. im fed u w/ that other company (Turbo Tech Racing, LLC). When i order something i expect it to be in stock. I dont want to wait weeks for it to come in when its on back order. So anyways can you send me a pm on how to paypal you guys cuz im going to cancel my order from the other company. thanks man. and this way here i can support our vendors

ryan

$87 is a great price for a strut bar made from DC sports. :)

Your right DC52N. Thats why im ordering it from them now and cancelled my other order. And its actully cheaper too with the better shipping price. :) .. I love our vendors. :cssNET:
