    Where can I get a rear strut tower brace to purchase?

    Now that Corksport has stop carrying parts for the 86-89 Mazda 323. Where can I purchase a rear strut tower brace for the 323 gt?

    Try calling them. They may still have some in stock. They just won't be buying more.

          Lol..... I buy most of my parts from CS just never got to purchasing the rear strut tower bar to complete my suspension upgrade. Everything else has been purchased from CS and installed already such H&R lowering spring, Tokico HP struts, CORKSPORT Front Strut Bar & All the Pedders bushing they offer for my car Front LCA, Front & rear Sway bar bushing (rear sway bar bushing in the mail), Sway bar end links bushings & Trailing arm bushings. Thanks for the advise 808, greatly appreciated.

                Well, it's not the same, but it does help.... You could get a rear "c" pillar bar (the bar that bolts between rear seat belt bolts). Shifty has one and could probably tell you what car it was for. I think it was an early 90's Civic hatchback. Might be from an Integra.

                Also, remember all the cool tools my neighbor has? I think what I did was to buy a cheaper bar for a Civic and had my neighbor custom cut flanges to bolt to the top of the strut towers. I'll be I could sweet-talk him into making some for you.

                    Yeah, that's something like what I bought except that one set of ends (the ones with four bolt-holes) won't work. I had to have my neighbor fabricate new ends based off of dimensions that I provided. Then, another friend helped to use his mig welder set-up to assemble it. I painted it and "vwalaah" I had a rear strit tower bar that finally worked. Seems to be the story of my life with my car. Nothing I bought ever seemed to fit right. I always seem to be tweaking it to make it work. I know, you guys too, right?
