Trd Strut bar

Post by Celtic_Curse »

Does anyone know if the trd strut bar that can be bought for the martix is compatible with the Vibe? I'm about to go ahead and buy one from Ptuning but a friend said the one from TRD is best. Any input?

Yes, it will fit both the Matrix and Vibe.quote: I'm about to go ahead and buy one from Ptuning but a friend said the one from TRD is best. Any input?I like the looks of the TRD, but I'd have to say they all are just a brace between the tops of the struts. I don't think one is going to be much better than the other.

Thanks, I was pretty sure it would just one guy on e-bay said it wouldn't fit when I bid on one. I was concerned about the bar smacking the hood. thanks

I have just the cheap $40 one on e-bay and it fits fine. I haven't read where any strut bar will fit one and not the other.

Thanks much , is there a big difference in cornering with it on? Will they bend?
