welp, thats a 16v K-bar alright. I've seen folks pay around $50 (US) for them, sometimes more. However, once it starts to cross that point, I'd look at a lower tie bar from Neuspeed or some other aftermarket company as it will be about the same.
I also can't remember, but I think you have to drill 2 holes to make the K-bar work on an 8v. I could be wrong though.

the price he is asking is roughly 50usd plus shipping.....Calimus wrote:I've seen folks pay around $50 (US) for them, sometimes more. However, once it starts to cross that point, I'd look at a lower tie bar from Neuspeed or some other aftermarket company as it will be about the same.
yup that's my understanding as well. that doesn't terribly concern me as my subframe is in good shape and I should be able to anchor one without any real problems.Calimus wrote: I also can't remember, but I think you have to drill 2 holes to make the K-bar work on an 8v. I could be wrong though.
Any thoughts on the lick of paint... are these known to rust / crack / fail in any particular point. The seller lives in northern ontario canada.
You can get a brand new eurosport 2 point lower bar for $59 US

I would say it is a far better bar than that one, despite what it may look like that is not a 4 point brace, the heavy duty 2 point from eurosport is far stiffer. If you want to spend a few bucks more and get the best chassis stiffness possible, go for the 4 point subframe.
PS: that used one looks like he just painted over the rust, I wouldn't touch it.

considering they can be picked up at wrecking yards for $10-20
a used one is a rip off
best bang for the buck (granted, more than the $50 mentioned above):

not sure if it'd be any cheaper though...
perhaps a bulk-buy......
