Tanabe makes and under brace for the front and rear on the 2g's. Here is a link: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/hopup1/tasuunbrmiec.html . I'm not sure how much the under braces help though. I was kinda wondering the same thing.

Can't tell you how much they actually help on our specific car (since I don't have one yet), but chassis stiffening is a good thing! emoji

Check out this beautiful gunmetal Megan Racing rear tie bar, and for under $45:

If I had any money in my checking account right now, I'd already have bought it.

I went to Hurricane_GS's web site and he posted a message that he is no longer making the bars. Guess too many people were whining about how long it was taking to get their bars. Good things take time people... be patient. I wish he wouldn't have quit making them... he may still do it if you mail him or something and guarantee him that you won't whine emoji

don't even bother contacting hurricane_gs. He is a very poor business man and seems to have ripped off many members on this board. I purchased his tie bars, and honestly, was not impressed at all with the quality of them. Not to mention mine look like a 4 year old put them together. Good things take time...yes. However, when you take alot of peoples money promising to get them their stuff ASAP, and yield no results at all for well over a year (coming up on two i believe) that is just a tad bit too much IMO.

Damn! I didn't know the story I guess. I had just read some things about his tie bars on the net. Guess he's not all he's cracked up to be.
