Carbing Stiffening Bars for the GE8

株式会社オクヤマ - 新着情報
(Just scroll down a little bit to see all the bars)





Found these while looking around for some strut bars.
Check out the 4pt front tower bar. That 4pt bar looks great and would hopefully be very functional

Does anyone have any experience with the Carbing Bars, and does anyone know who I can go through to import these from Japan

Yeah they are all listed for under $300 but after shipping and everything I'm sure $500 would be pretty close, unless you could buy a couple at a time and save on shipping or had it shipped by boat

Does it not clear the brake reservior?? or is it something else, like the distance between the strut tower and the front cross member.

Will the other parts beside the front strut fit??

What you listed above pretty much hit it right on... the front to rear lenght is different by about 4 inches for the Radiator support... and the bend of the front bar is set up for a Right hand drive Fit....
