I see you have an R1, interested in selling your strut ?? heheh
Unfortuantely, the reason I know the trouble with looking for a stock bar is that the bar was missing when I bought the car. I actually thought at the time it was just a base, until someone clued me in that without cruise control, it was the R1.
Of course, I might just have to take a look at that e-bay bar.....Hmmm....

How bad are you looking for one? I have a spare that I might sell if price is right.
Not really looking that seriously at this point. honestly, the FD hasn't moved in over a year now, I've got a lot more pressing issues than a STB.

OK so you are saying all I do is take off the nuts from either side and attach the bar? I thought you had to do something with the struts, compress them or something?
