92-94 cavi or sunbird bar will fit. The 91 and earlier bars have the wrong bolt pattern.

Any Z24. I've even heard that an RS can have one.
One of these days there needs to be a write up and a sticky on this. Home page?

Actually, the truth of the matter is this.

92-94 Sunbird/Cavalier Verts, Wagons, and GT's/Z24s

I have yet to see an RS or base with a strut bar, if they do, then someone put one on. Unless its a vert, then it falls back into the "vert" category of course ;)

Looks like we found the write up guy. :)

Oh and MRZ for the rear, it's the only one and is very nice.

Factory J-Body rear braces fit as well. Rare though.

I have an MRZ. Worth the money for a well finished product.

How much did the MRZ brace cost? There is nothing on the website.

$85 plus shipping. I don't even know if they make them anymore though. I recall them having a couple products online that they don't make anymore, such as the billet HVAC knobs.

Hey man what is the rear J brace on? I have yet to see one. Thought they were on Z24 verts, but I checked and it wasn't there.

I've never actually seen one in the yard, and now that I looked it up on V6z24 they say there wasn't one. Maybe I confused it with the rear sway bar. Some have used a Ractive strut tower brace and fabricated new mounts for them. I think I'd just get the MRZ bar or make one like Weba did. His will actually clear a subwoofer where as mine requires the subs to be further back.
