Default Question regarding Spoon rear tower bar..... *pic request

I "supposedly" bought a rear spoon tower bar from a local shop the guy told me its for an ITR bla bla... he gave it to me for a good price even installed it for me but I don't see this being a rear tower bar but a front tower bar???

only problem is it doesn't align with the bolts in the front, only aligns on the rear struts



can anyone post pics of their Spoon upper tower bar?

That is a rear tower bar, but it doesnt look like the Spoon bar....

Did you think you were getting a Lower Tie bar?

authentic spoon bars have the "spoon sports" logo engraved on each bracket...unless knock-offs are doing that too now

I just looked in my trunk and my rear spoon bar doesn have any bends at all. The front one does but I don't think it bends quite as much as the one in your pic. It could just be the perspective tho.

perhaps it's a front bar with rear brackets... the rear bar is straight without any bends.

This is a 100% real front Spoon strut tower bar:



Looks pretty similar to your pic above besides the mounting points.

That's the Front Spoon tower bar. The rear bar is supposed to be completely flat, as in no bends what so ever.

I have both the front and the back Spoon bars and that looks like the front one. The back is straight and the front has the two bends

I never equated being rich with doing something the correct and safe way.

If I couldn't afford it all at the same time then I wouldn't install it.

It's your life, to each his own.
