Lightbulb upper strut tower bar?

Does anyone know where to get a upper front and maybe a rear strut tower bar? I found one on some site but it looks kinda like it wont word for some reason. I think it would be a nice addition to my car

they don't make it for the rear because the struts don't come into the trunk. as for the front, fred2ka4 made one for his car and he said he was going to make more to sell but i haven't heard from him. it doesn't do as much as sway bars for our cars. also, you don't want the front to be any more stiff because you'll understeer like a ****. stiffen the rear up with a hotchkiss sway bar and you can tripod on tight corners hehe

01.5's had stock front strut bars. You could find em in junkyards online. Try car-parts.com.

nice, I didn't know lltek had them too. The way they mount in the lltek website is probably not for the a4 as I don't see how that one long round mounting section would work. Maybe someone else can chime in here.

Guess I don't have a 2001.5 since I don't have the strut bar.
