Cusco front strut bar

I bought this years ago when I first got my STi. Ran it for several months till another member noticed it was jizzing rust in my car. Bar was sold to me with rust on the end link-how could I have made it rust in several months time. My own bad for not checking before buying. I just trusted the person I bought it from and he installed it in the car. I believe it is only the drivers side end link that is rusting and needs to be fixed-would need to take a closer look at it again but thats the side that had rust jizz in my car. I paid $100 and am not expecting to get that back. Taking offers.




whoops sorry for the upside down image...damn iphone lol

I planned on sandblasting and taking at look at possible powdercoat but might just sandblast and spray. That is if you take my offer.

yeah, it wouldnt be that hard to fix....this is why its here, someone else can do that. i dont want to fix it-or else i would have. i already have another strut bar, one with titanium end links that wont rust i was just posting the facts of the item-so as not to hide any defects. im an honest seller here-ive never sold anything bunk to anyone. cant say the same for myself.....ive bought a handful of bunk items off iclub.
anyway PSBeachBum, let me leave the thread open for a few more days......if no one else expresses interest-its YOURS.

PSBeachBum offered $62.12. Honestly, I dont think it would be in your best interest considering I live in Hawaii. Not really sure how much shipping costs would be, but being that it is longer, it might be in a large box making shipping ridiculous.
