      Mance Strut Brace

      How soon do you need one James? Would you be interested in something like this?

      Mance Pre-Loading strut bar. Works with cars that have existing strut tower plates.

      GB Will begin in September if you do not mind waiting he is quite busy with his Coupe/B4 coilover suspension upgrade. No specifics yet but you can check out his other innovative products here;

          I need 2 bars and I know of another who needs 1. The total to start a GB is 20. Mance is quite busy until September. I will open a GB thread very soon so keep your eyes peeled. If we have 20+ yes.

                Are there any options for a car without the welded in support brackets.

                  The picture illustrates Mance's personal bar which is made of Ti. Far too expensive to offer the public. Most likely going to be Alloy for the Masses

                  I am waiting for more info on cost,overseas shipping/payment,material,weight,vehicle fitment.

                  The bar is meant to allow pre-loading adjustments to the drivers desire. You can fine tune the progressive or digressive tension of the bar. The quality of the part is far superior than anything stock. But please allow me to get more info from the man himself 'Mance' so when a GB is setup we can have Q&A's

                    Carlos, yes! You will need to have strut tower braces to fit this bar.

                              Anton,
                              Unlike rumor about the B4 strut brackets not being available, I just went down to the local dealer and ordered a set. Just use the family album numbers.
