Default looking for a strut bar.....

for my 92 GSR w/ ABS

GAB (discontinued)
Spoon (discontinued)
Lightspeed (cant find any sort of distributor)
Z-Speed (cant find any sort of distributor)
Greddy (Trust) (discontinued)
Momocourse (does this even exist?)
Tenzo-R (part number please?)
Matrix (part number please?)
OBX-R (part number please?)
Pilot Motorsports (part number please?)

these are the bars that came up after a search on g2ic, what i want to know about the bars that i want a part number for is if they are specifically made for a car w/ abs or they are just generic made and they fit with some elbow grease.....unless someone has a TRUST one they wanna get rid of :-)

many people just dont understand that the parts for Da are getting hard to reach since so many are becoming discontinued. I hate it when people say just get this or that and they dont fully understand what chassis platform its for. Yes password products are good and have a vast inventory for every chassis.....except DA's. Wish i could aid in your search but as of right now i am bars less, iv been trying to get a CF C-pillar bar made but there wasnt enough demand so i couldnt go through with it. Anyway if/when you find some good bars for a DA chassis please pass them along

So what I'm gathering here is that the ABS is in the way of just using the universal ones? CRAP! I just bought a 1992 GSR which does have the ABS. I had GAB bars on my old 92 which was wrecked, rebuilt and never the same afterward, I should have stripped it before selling it, now the parts are all gone, and apparently are getting harder to find.

When you say "with some elbow grease", is there a way to modify one of the generic ones to fit?

i was looking at their bars, do you have a part number of their bar that FOR SURE works w/ an ABS equipped teg? i mean i could call my contact inside SPW (if he still works there) but i doubt even he would know

please do, like i said some people have got a bar to ghetto fit on there, but since the towers are the same on both the DA and the EF, has anyone tried using a bar made for an EF SiR (obviously switching the mounting bracket sides) because they did have ABS equipped EF's overseas?

I think you should try http://www.wholesaleperformance.com. Search around in there, I think they have some DC Bars for DA's.
