As the contour after market dwindles, performance part supplies goes down and the demand goes up. I am able to build rear strut braces similar to the ones made by HPP. These would obviously be cheaper (in price) then what they used to sell for and will be guaranteed. I know, there has been recent ideas for production on these. But is anyone insterested as of now. I could get this done very quickly. Basically what I am looking for is a minimum of 10 people.
Anyone...

I have a HPP rear strut town bar and it is worth it. I put it on and I could tell the car was turning in better. You don't need anything to mount it with either, just tighten it up where you want it and it good to go  I did have an older image that was better but it isn't online at the moment (the eibach sticker is upside down because at the time I didn't have eibachs and someone saw that there and asked me if it was made my Eibach) and as you can see it is up out of the way

If it is the kind that just tightens in place (as Brapple said), I'm interested.

I would think that any type would just tighten in place as the idea is to put pressure on the strut towers
although I guess one similar to the omp but for the rear could be made and that would need to be bolted in
also the HPP one could be mounted but doesn't need to be

I need one, at some point, and you're right about suppliers dwindling. I had entertained a notion of building one myself, but depending on price and product, yes I could be interested.

The product will be very easy to install and require no drilling or welding and for the most part being just as effective. Like I said the price will be cheaper then, what they were sold for. I am going to be making an aluminum and steel prototype.

I really like the idea of not having to bolt it in, just tighten it.
