Has anyone on the west coast looked into where one can be bought/found? Or does anyone have a link to someone who is selling one that works for our car at a decent price? Thanks guys

Just to clarify: you mean the strut tower brace, yes?
Maybe Vapor would make you one? :)
Thread: Custom Front Strut Tower Brace
Yes! Thats what I meant! Thank you! If Vapor is down for that and it doesn't cost to much I'm down for that possibility! ;)
I actually have one at home that has a small cosmetic blemish where I made it slightly too long, cut it, and welded it back together. I can do that one for about $60 shipped. Otherwise it's 100 plus shipping
Hey Vap I pm'D you in regards to this topic! Cheers! :)
I know tanabe makes one for the versa note and should be a direct fit.
Does it come with the mounting bolts, and do they just thread into those holes beneath the shock tower?
It says it comes with all the hardware, as far as threading into the shocktower I have no clue.
Cusco makes a reputable line of body reinforcement parts, all Made in Japan (ASEA certified), they basically coined the term strut tower bar. They sell the K13 Micra/March version for about ¥ 15,000 that's about $160US. Part# 206-540-A

^^ That is a nice looking bar. Still interested in the exact installation process though in terms of the bolt...
It's a standard (metric) nut and bolt assembly, you have to go from under the wheel well towards the strut sheet metal plate and assemble.Quote:

No, Cusco only makes them with their standard blue finish, which is their trademark look.
Is it fairly easy to reach with the car up on jack stands? Wheel off and fender liner off I'm assuming?Quote:

What is the installation process like?
Someone on this forum shared a huge list of Micra aftermarket parts and don't remember what threads its under..??

not sure if this can help, but Cusco USA recently made this poster showcasing the benefits of using a Strut tower brace, also keep in mind best results according to this document are achieved when installing a brace before installing the dampers (shocks) to keep the entire frame levelled.
