270, LOWER-FRONT strut bar?
Posted by Hoot, Dec-26-00 10:35 AM
a long time ago i thought i saw a pic of an eclipse with a lower front brace on the suspension. if i remember correctly it was advertised as being for a turbo, but the suspension is the same. i can't remember what company or where i saw this. does anybody know if something ever existed for the eclipse? i kinda remember it looking something like the neuspeed bar for the rear except that it was across the bottom of the front suspension. anybody know?

Road Race Engineering is working on making one for our cars. Stay tuned for details and when it will be available. There are some differences in the way a chassis brace mounts on the GS-T and the RS/GS. Their engine and transmission are installed backwards compared to ours :) I have a GS-T 19mm front sway bar and it fits perfectly. Just keep lurking until the topic comes up again.

cool, thanks. i knew that the sway bars were interchangeable but that's a good point about the engine and trans being mounted backwards. i guess if they design it right, it could fit both models. otherwise we'll be screwed.

Road Race is going o make a limited run of these. It's not going to be a production item as far I know Skrilla is going to take is car in and Mike is going to make a batch for us, if you want in contact Skrilla. Check back in the posts for details, but I think this is pretty much a one shot deal, Josiah's going in January and if some one wants more made I think they'll need another car to come in.

I was told it was strictly for the Turbos whose suspension is the same but has different subframe bolts due to the posistion of the tranny and engine.
