  • So I was at a Chevy dealership today....

    So I was at a Chevy dealership today, and I happened to take a look under the hood of a Malibu Maxx SS.

    Everything is exactly the same as on our cars.

    I have put an inquiry in with parts about the posibility of getting the strut tower brace. They will be getting back to me on Monday or Tuesday.

    The guy said that his computer didn't list it as compatible with our cars, but I saw it, and it looks EXACTLY the same.

    If GM will let one go for less than $200CDN, I'll pick one up and report back.

      200 for it? On the GPs we "fabbed" fabbed one from a 10 dollar bar that was available on the regals...

          Yes there is... I've gotten pricing fromone company near me that I think is a wee bit too much (160.00). I may just make em myself, but dman, that's a lot of time, lol. I'll have info or something sometime, lol.


          That price isn't bad (remember, thats canadian). I got the same info from my chevy store- but remeber, ofcaorse it says nothing about the G6 as it's not on teh G6 for any option. If you were interested in that bar, the could alwasy ask them to order it, if it doesn't fit, make sure you can return it. :idea:

              $257CDN for the bar. They told me that I should go find a Malibu and measure to see if it matches the G6.

              Anyone think a salesman will let me measure a Malibu?

                I don't see why not, just walk in and ask to see under the hood of a malibu, then take your tape measure and get what you need

                  Yeah. That'd be simple to do.

                  I still think they are the same, though.

                      I'll probably wait until Saturday to go to the dealer. If it matches up, I'll order the bar.

                        I'm sure there will be something small and stupid that will prevent the Malibu strut bar from working on our cars, if not then I'll be going to a dealership to pick one up also. Speaking of all this some people were talking about how the car isn't too great around corners. I can't believe how good my car is, I scream around turns the she just sticks right to the road-I love flying around a turn and people are like

                          What I've noticed with the GTP is that it dives in the turns. I don't get a lot of understeer, but the outside front corner does feel like it's about to scrape the ground.

                          Of course, that MAY be something that I can attribute to high speed turning.. lol..

                          If the salesman won't let me measure it, I'm going to order the bar anyway. Worst case scenario, I'll just e-bay it.

                          BTW, there is only TWO available bars in the distribution system right now. They're both located at the Lansing distribution centre.

                            Well let us know what you plan on doing, either taking measurements or just buying the thing outright to see if it works, I'm very interested in this.

                              I foyu all haven't seen the My Next Project thread.. GT-R is going to be doing a LOT of suspension work for us. I told him to take over my strut bar as I haven't gotten anything to really work. :cry:
