No I don't have the number handy (a search would find it)
However I do know it is not a direct fit. It required a bit of fabrication work to get it to fit and be mounted.

I have been to the summit site and found the part. I noticed there is a 3/4" and a 1". is ther going to be much of a difference. How much modification are talking about.

The bar is hollow,youll need to cut it to length,then re tap it and thread the end back on.Be SURE you cut the right end off,not the end that screws ON counter clockwise. Part # CEE-2052 Bolt on.$62.95,there is no 3/4 and 1/2 inch versions.Just that # above.

Well now we know where to get them, now if people start installing the bars without load on the suspension and find out what the distance between the strut towers is supposed to be and calibrate the bar to this number....the strut bars might actually do what they're supposed to

OK, I'll sound like a dumba$$.....you're sposed to install the rear bar with the suspension unloaded? As in the car in the air, wheels hanging? What extra benefit does this give me? I installed HIghtowers bar with the car on the ground and did notice a nice improvement, but if doing it this way makes even better...in the air goes the car!

Ok Terry, I'll bite...."What is the distance between the rear strut towers that the brace is supposed to be calibrated for?"....or is that info only given when we buy the brace from you :p
