I found the same thing awhile ago as you 06MREvo.

$750 for the strut bars above. I think they are going to stick to his car like flies on s**t.

lol, true...$750 is a bit ridiculous for used strut tower bars, no matter how rare they are now...

$750 for strut tower bars!
You guys are crazy. If you are drag racing, I'd just pull the stock bars off for free and be done with it.

I picked up the Ralliart aluminum front bar for $150 and thought that was almost too much for the cost/benefit ratio. I think it's 3 pounds.
