FS local: Stage 1 lower tie bar (5th gen)

I'm starting a very slow part-out of my car, and the LTB was easy to take off so it's first to go.

Anyhow, it used to be a stage II bar, but I cut the rear mounts off so it's just a stage I now (with a couple little nubs where the crossbars used to attach), and works just fine.

Cosmetically has some scrapes, a few small holes from when it had a small skid attached, but works fine and is solid, and not bent. Helps tighten up your steering. Who cares about looks, it's under the car and nobody can see it.

Matt blehm sells them for $65 + shipping. If someone wants mine, bring $40 to the upcoming meet and I'll have it in my trunk...first come, first served...

here's an old pic of it...a bit more banged up now, but like I said, it's not bent, just cosmetically scraped, etc...

Why did you cut them? Is the Stage II overkill?
What's RCP? I Googled it and came up with "Revolutionary Communist Party". LOL

no, the stage II is great, but I had fit problems since I have oversized bolts on the rear of my control arms (long story, don't ask).....

RCP = Rock Creek Park, but I really meant the upcoming meet, which is NOT at RCP...momentary brain lapse...

It has a ypipe, but that's not going to be parted out. Way too much trouble to take off and reinstall a factory one (which I don't have one of anyhow).

I'll be selling the entire car in the spring. We'll see how many mods are still on it by that point, but it will definitely still have the ypipe, SFCs, and Stillen RSB among other things....

Neither stage tie bar works with Cattman Gen II or IIIs. Not sure about the Gen Is though.

It is the design of the y-pipe that comes with the headers. The loop in the collector interferes with the LTB fitment. See my picture below:
