Default Bent my lower tie bar! Need to Find a new one...

Just realized my lower rear tie bar on my ITR is bent pretty badly.. Trying to decide what to replace it with.. i can order the Tanabe ITR one for like 100 bucks.. Just wondering what is going to be the best.. I am planning on doing a few HPDEs and Autoxs this summer so something stronger then stock would be nice.. Any help would be great..

Any reason why you want to replace it other than just replacing it? Just because it's bent doesn't mean it's done.

The tie bar was bent when I bought the vehicle.. It appears that the pervious owner hit something.. I still have stock suspension, but that will be changing after I do a few HPDEs and Autox to learn the vehicle better.. I mean, it needs to replace because it is bent so badly u can see it from 10 feet behind the vehicle.. I mean I can always slap another factory one under there and be done with it.. Just wanted to know what everyone thought I should do..

I wouldn't go to the dealership unless you like getting ripped of.

I know Acutech Autos (650-871-7797) has tons of those bars (used) sitting around and would give you a far better deal on one then any dealership.

EDIT: Here's their price list:

Looks like you can get it for $40.
