Yup, stock. 94+ 3S's have an aluminum rear as well. I need to update to that.

Any idea how close they are to a 1g dsm crash bar?

They bolt to the chassis with a simmilar 2 bolt shock absorber. But other than that your guess is as good as mine. I could measure my other car if you want some dimensions.

24 x 12 x 4.5 It should do the trick.

Perfect size! Glad it fits so good! What (brand) core?

PTE/Garrett core. So many turbulators you can't see more than 1.5" into it. I'll go take some pics of it with the bumper on, and some measurements on the crash bar.

EDIT: Crash bar info. So here is some BASIC info for the crash bar. From the mounting point on the chassis to the FRONT surface of the crash bar (at the mounting point) is 8.5". The center to center mounting distance is approximately 40 inches. The bar bows forward as well, pics in my winter upgrades folder in the gallery. If the numbers are similar anyone that wants to test fit one, I have one that is 4 nuts away from being off the car.

Hit me up next time you are working on the car, i wouldn't mind a test fit or seeing this sweet beast again.

I'll have to get out and measure mine and compare. If it's pretty close to fitting it would sure be a nice cheap lightweight mod for dsmer's.

You said the rear one is aluminum too? I wonder how close that is to a 1g as well.

I did the brakes finaly. Lines, pads, front rotor, custom rear re-surfacing. Apparently 3S rear rotors are so rare that the ONLY place in town that stocks them, only stocks one pair. And sold them to someone else and won't have them for another 3 weeks. A number of parts stores I called couldn't even get them. I took mine to to be turned, but one was under the minimum thickness. So I took them back an broke out the sandpaper. Ghetto, but better than having two very different pad compounds front to rear.

Other than tuning and swapping the CF hood on, it's pretty much ready to beat Chris's EVO at every AX event this year. :D

I will be having my rear bumper off of my 94 Stealth in the next weeks, I'll take measurements / weights of the rear crash bar. For those looking to retrofit, the 2g DSMs have a fiberglass / composite plastic-type front and rear crashbars that weigh next to nothing.
