        I don't think there are any direct bolt in's. If you can build such a rad SHOstiva you can make a strut bar.

          There was a post on here a few weeks ago about a "frog arm" in place of a strut bar and that setup looked to be just the ticket for a car like yours.

            I belive I read on here that a strut brace for a Mazda 323 will work with a little modification.
            If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                  Perhaps gen1 323?

                        I got crucified for asking about strut tower braces on here lol. Is it confirmed that the gen 1 323 front and rear braces fit?

                          Surely it can't be that hard to fab a strut bar. Anything over $100 shipped I wouldn't waste my money on, regardless of whether I knew it did anything or not. From eBay, I don't think I'd go more than $50 shipped. It just isn't a complicated thing to create.

                          Hmm. Now you've got me thinking.
                          Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

                            I didn't and wouldn't crucify anyone you for seeking to build a sturdier car but I do and did question the usefulness of a "piece of bent pipe". That "frog arm" arrangement shown by another forum member certainly made much more sense to decrease vehicle flex, to me.

                              Bert, I'm just joking with ya. I appreciate any information to further my knowledge of suspension.
