Default pic request : Tanabe tower bar

Do any of you guys have any pics of your tanabe rear strut tower bars on a 4th gen? I just finished stripping and painting my trunk and for around $100 bucks I figure it would complete the trunk area nicely. I would also like to know if its red or polished because I saw that tanabe has both but not sure about the ludes color

tanabe changes their colors every now and then.

recently they moved to red. but it used to be silver or blue.

and what does the color matter? do you want it to look pretty? its just a strut bar, no offense.

^sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn't make THAT much of a difference.

an underbrace from tanabe is better, but a rear sway is much better (if you don't already have one). rear strut bars help a little.

I know, I just dont have the money to buy a sway bar. I was just thinking for around one-hundred bucks why not.

Get a cheaper one off of like ebay or something...They dont do much and the performance will be the same. And you will spend about 30...lol

I'm not in anyway saying that MEGAN is the best thing, What I am merely saying is that for something that will do as little as the Upper Tower Brace the MEGAN one should be aight.

front tanabe underbrace



rear.

and there's no way it can mess up your alignment. its connected to the bolts of your lower control arm. (that only pivots) so nothing would change
