Cooz,
Yer there is an OEM brace, though I don't recall the p/n. Call Steve at Rennsport. He's a great guy to work with, a sponsor to this board, and he's a Rennlist Tech Advisor contributor (I think that's the tile ...Aw just call him

Here's an old post of mine from one of the many threads:
The bar from Rennlist sponsor AJ-USA is quite nice & may still be available at the R-list member discounted price of $160. BTW, I had a "Rennline" bar which I replaced w/the B-K bar.

Do a search ("strut bar" or "strut brace") - many prior threads.
BTW, don't overtighten the mounting bolts.

...get rid of the carpet and save a few pounds

I have a TechArt brace, which is very light but very strong. So strong, in fact, when the last car it was on was in a 40 mph front-end collision, it did a great job keeping the front of the car (and me) more or less in one piece, the body shop told me. It emerged unscathed, car was totalled. I put it in my new cab for luck.

Unless you plan on club racing in a stock class, where you'll be required to have the carpet in place.

Gents,
Which is easiest to install? Which does the least amount of harm to the car (drilling holes) and the like. For my edification the OEM part # provided is for the RSR brace? Joe mentions a BK brace, who is that? Lastly who carries Tech Art products?

TechArt can be found at GermanTech in Largo FL ... www.germantech.com
They are easy to install; they bolt onto the shock towers using the existing bolts, no drilling required.

None mentioned require holes - all mount to the strut bolts easily.
