Just contacted the guy selling strut brace for different cars for only $70 @ firesport.com

he told me that he did not have strut brace specificaly for Magna but some others might fit and he will still only charge the same price.

apparently he only advertized for the following models : WRX , Lancer, Mirage, Civic, perlude, accord , integra, rx7 , 626, mx6 etc. so there might be a bosibility that one might fit Magna??

also they are Fully adjustable, light weight and comes polished

so i am just wondering is it a possibility that may be 2 cars can use same strut brace???

Will it cause any problem ????

Dependent factors:

- Same amount of mounting holes
- Same distance inbetween holes (PCD)
- Shape of mounting face is correct and doesn't foul on anything
- The bar itself is long enough.
- The shape of the bar does not hit the bonnet when closing whilst clearing the top of the engine at the same time.

I guess the material thickness and strenght/grade would make a diff too.

For $70, get one that is close to a straight bar. If it doesn't fit, just make your own end mounts :D . Like that you get a good looking bar with perfect fit ends (just powder coat them to your liking) :D
