If you mean this one and are talking about 2002 or 2003 O-Zs:



then the answer is YES.

RMR has this one and RRM will be coming out with one shortly (so I hear).

Just had a funny thought. The single tube tie bar would be a short tube... we can pretend the strut bars got together and had a kid...

As for the tie bar being "so big" the one pictures measures about 1 foot long. Compared to the strut and sway bars, that's pretty small don't you think?

As for the actual product asked about in the first place, I'm not sure if it will fit or not... most likely not.

he is saying the width is a little much. i do home rrm's are smaller but stronger, a one piece design is best imo

edit: rrm should make both front and rear, sell them as a packed for bout 100 bucks but thats just my 2 cents

yeah i meant the width of the bar...

i shoulda said something along the lines of..."whats the deal with the huge wings attached to that tie bar?"


hehe here's what i had in mind. probably a welded end or 1pc. type of tube design would be cool.

...yeah i just dont understand why they put those big *** wings on that bar...added strength?

Yeah, I don't get it either. Must be for looks, because I can tell you that their strut bar flexes if you lean on it hard enough. Anyway, RRM's bars will be tubular and most likely one-piece construction, so they win't flex. And I'm sure he'll be offering them in red and silver like normal, so they will still look better than these!

Sorry if this is too off topic, but why are their colors always red and silver? Wouldn't there be more demand for say red and blue?

Rob actually did get quite a few requests for blue a while back, so he ran a special buy where people could place orders for any powdercoated product to be blue. He got less than 5 orders and lost money to pay for the powdercoating. I would have thought blue would be great too. I actually would have done blue parts if I had a silver, white, or yellow Lancer. But sales prove otherwise, so he's back to what sells... red and silver.
