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.

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

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 !!

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.

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.

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?

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

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