Here ya go. Bar is 3/4 in, with 1/8 wall thickness. Both sides are threaded, 5/8 in. IMO, very heavy duty. Worked wonders on my car. $60 shipped in the lower 48. I experimented with bolting it to the towers, but I found just adjusting it tight against the towers is enough, without having to drill holes. Makes it easier to remove too. If anyone is interested, Pm me for address and when money is being sent, so I can make one to send the day I get payment, so you dont have to wait. Money orders only, please

These strut braces are made specifically for the four cylinder mystiques ONLY!! They will need some modifications to make fit. Have you ever seen any other strut brace with the bar to the back? Plus if installed towards the back the bar will damage the A/C lines. I know I bought one, when I looked further into this bar I found it's only for the 4 bangers. Once modified they work very well. I had to heat, bend, & heat, bend several times.to make it fit. Trial and error. If you heat too many times the bar will become brittle.

other then having the AC line where it is, there is absolutely no difference between the cars with the different engines, it is a known fact the AC line has to be moved slightly to make it fit for cars with the duratec....
moving back to the group buy, any word?

Sorry guys, but I"m afraid OMP isn't gonna let this happen for us  I get unhindered approval from them for 2 straight weeks and then just today they tell me this. If anything, I was told, these braces will not be available till ealry October when OMP USA takes in their biggest shippment from Italy. And even if a shippment comes in large enough to fill the orders we have, OMP says that their loyal customers from "years back" get first dibs. NOW THIS IS STUPID. First off you tell us that we will be able to get these ASAP and at a damn good price. And I wasn't deeling with some newbie either...It was one of the big guys up there. Well guys sorry to say this, but the Group Buy is dead  I really wanted to make this happen. Sorry

look further and you'll find these were only for the four's. didn't you notice the way it didn't fit? call some of the parts places linked to CEG, ask them? I'm not kidding, I made mine fit and love it. worth the effort!!

Loyal contour customers?  Did they officially lower the price? Will these possibily be available in limited quantities in October? Anyways, that's stupid they did that and stupid they don't try to get enough in for the GB.

By the "loyals" i meant the businesses that buy from them regularly. It does make sense that the long standing companies that deal with OMP don't get undercut by large Group Buys like this, however don't tell us for 2 weeks that its gonna happen and then pull out. I wouldn't be suprised if somoone caught wind of this and complained to OMP......Oh well.....we tried
