What is everyone using for the F/R strut bars? I was thinking about getting the ones for a 1g eclipse and modify them to work. Thanks!

I am not sure if they make strut bars specifically for the 1st & 2nd gen mirages but I think I can modify the ones for a 1g eclipse.

What kind of lowering spring did you get?

Thanks!

they were off ebay, sold as KYB's. but ive never seen any kyb springs before for any car. there red, and not labled. fit the car though. ive also upgraded all my suspension bushings to energy suspension urethane bushings.

Is there any chance you still have the part numbers for the energy suspension bushings? Thanks again!

i dont think anyone has strut tower bars for the c10. you can make ur own but theres no bolts to bolt them to.

i noticed that last night when i was trying out a few old strut bars i had laying around. everything i had was way to wide though. but i do agree, i think a 1st gen talon/eclipse bar could work. but obviousely, we will have to drill hole's. which isnt a big deal to me.

I used 1"x1"x1/8" angle iron for the brackets. For the bar, I got it from home depot but not sure what the thickness is, it looks like a 1/8" wall.

It made a big difference! I really like it. Can't wait to get the rear done too.
