Default Scion tC Rear GReddy Strut Bar???

I just ordered the Front GReddy strut bar for a 2007 Scion tC. However, they didn't sell the Rear one.

What are some sites that I would be able to purchase it on?

Thanks.

save your money, get sway bars, strut braces really don't do anything.

strut braces aren't as noticeable as sway bars, but they do complete the set up if you have sways and strut bars. Sways are a lot more work to put in, but you get a great bang for the buck!

sort of icing on the cake in my eyes with the strut bars front and rear

I have a DC sport DC2 front strut bar, GReddy Rear Strut bar

I also have the Hotchkis sway bars front and rear. Megan C-pillar bar, Aerospeed floor support.

If I could find a GReddy for the front I would probably sell my DC sports so the front and rear match for shows.

this is going to sound crazy to most on here, but I recommend the TRD front strut bar b/c it's less intrusive than others and its a solid 1 piece design. I had the DC Sports bar and sold it the day after I put it on. The TRD bar is also a lot lighter than the DC Sports bar. The major negative part about the TRD bar is that it's pricey.

I think it is really whatever style fits you and your car. they all do the same thing.

most certainly is. I wasnt directing the whole DC Sports thing at you, besides most folks on here do prefer it.

I purchased my GReddy rear strut bar from http://www.sportcompactonly.com pretty fast shipping.

I'm pretty sure you can also find it at sites such as http://www.vividracing.com you can probably even find it on eBay.

I've had mine for almost a year now and just have had the time to install it. lol might do so later this year during Christmas break.

My strut bar is in!! Unlike the TRD and DC Sports bars, the GReddy had 3 holes. So I had to loosen that plastic piece between the hood and the windshield. Overall, it took me about a half hour to install it.

i have the GReddy front strut and had the rear strut. the difference is barely noticeable in the rear with it on and with it off. as everyone else is saying your better off getting a rear sway. The TRD sway helps a lot in terms of suspension, but if you are really set on getting a rear strut, the GReddy one looks great and not many people have it (which is why i originally bought it .. but it became a hassle cause i usually load my car with gear and it would get in the way), there is also the Ingalls rear strut bar that attaches to 4 points in the trunk/ spare tire area, but you have to cut your foam pieces to fit it in. IMO the better performance for your buck after a drop and front strut would be the rear sway. :D

hopupracing.com has it for $123.00 and FREE SHIPPING
jdmcarboy.com $114.00 + $15.00 S+H

I'm running GReedy Front and Rear with Megan pillar. They don't seem to make a lot of difference but they look sweet.

I have DC front strut, GReddy rear strut, Hotchkis rear sway and camber links along with Tien SS coil overs. I have the front sway bar just never got around to installing it. but with everything else my car is still able to do this.



if you look at the rear wheel you will see that even the short curb the car is stiff enough to dog leg.
