You'd have to have someone ship one from America, as I don't think you'll find many 92-94 Cavaliers over there. Then you could either paint it yourself or have it done over here. MRZ might still make their bars http://mrzperformance.vstore.ca/product ... ucts_id/36 but I have bought things from them only to get a refund because they do not make it anymore. I don't know if they would powdercoat or not. However that option is significantly pricier.

I have one laying around that my friend could powdercoat. I'm selling it for $15 and then another $15 to sandblast and powdercoat. No idea what shipping costs would be though at this point. If you're interested let me know. If the shipping turns out to be something crazy, I would drop the price of the bar itself down for you.


I had two, bottom one is sold:

They only came in black, but you can paint it any color that you want.
As for the MRZ rear bar they do have blue or you can get it primed for $5.00USD less.

You have a V6 so stay away from the MRZ front bar. It will hit the alternator. Not that you wanted one, but just incase you change your mind.

I'm interested. And u would paint it >----blue----< for 30 bucks?
this strut bars are for the front not for the rear, I'm right?
please could you ask at your local post-office how much the shipping to switzerland costs?

btw: the taillights of your car are nice

Front is correct.
MRZ is the only option for the rear.

Yeah, it's a front bar. I'll see if I have something I can package it in within the next few days and get a shipping quote for you. I'll also talk to my friend to see what sort of blue he has, just to be sure it's something you want and to be sure he has some time to do it.

If you could PM me your address that would be ideal. Or at least a specific town/zip.

My friend will blast and coat it! Here is a picture of what the blue would look like (The IDI Cover).

And it will not hit the alternator in the 3.1...the 3100 might be another thing but i have been running one on my 2.8 and it clears the alternator without issue.

The Cavy Z24 strut tower bar clears on all engines.
ronaconda and I were talking about the MRZ front bar. Ok so it's only a problem on a 3100(or swapped 3400).

Well from what ronaconda said it's ok for the 2.8/3.1. Really the MRZ bar is just for looks(they flex). The Cavy bar doesn't flex, nor does the MRZ rear bar.
