The OG's way back in the day rigged 4th gen strut bars on their 5th gens.

Of course it doesn't just bolt up, it requires modification. A33 is a different body.

They are cheap enough that there is no reason to expel the effort on modding a 4th gen bar to work, I just saw numerous bars on Ebay for less than $30 shipped for 5th gens...

Which defeats the purpose of a strut bar.
