Its been a few months since I bought this item, please take note of the word I'm using. It's bought not bid. So I been surfing of this online website selling used/new stuff of automotive parts. It's all in Japanese but we just need some online translator and you can search what you want. In this case, I typed in ht81s and wala.
The link to that website is :-
Ok, back to the stories, I engaged my usual bidder and I place my order on this item, if I recall correctly is in end of April. But only now in September only it reach the shore's and ready for my collection. Mind you, this is after numerous email and sms to the bidder during May, June and July to check the status of my order. I paid full for the item excluding the transportation and etc charges which will be paid upon delivery. I don't know what happened to my order but everytime I ask them, the reply is the container just reach and will contact me for collection soon, this repeated for a few MONTHS and I really dissapointed on their response. I won't tell you who this bidder is as I feel they are not being sincere in doing business with me. It's not my first time to engage their services and I expect a better service than this.
Finish with the prelude, now to the main stories, I found this suzuki sport strut bar in the list of used item to be sell. The price is not too expensive and there is a catch, it doesn't really stated which manufacturer and what specific model this item is for.
Now for the investigation, first time I saw is the colour. I can safely say that only suzukisport will produce strut bar with this colour.
Secondly which model this strut is for ? There are 2-3 model that share the same chasis with HT81S, which is HT51s and HR51. Suzuki sport does produce strut bar for all this model and the major difference is the thickness of the tube, 30mm for HT81S and 25mm for the others.
Since measuring from the picture is not my forte, so I can't determine this strut bar for which car.
The details can be found here :-
Another clue to determine the model of this strut bar is from the hole of the base of the strut bar. For ht81s model there are more pre-drill hole for the screws position compare to normal ht51.
In conclusion, I can determine that this strut is for HT51S or HR51S model with some point of accuracy (95%).. hhaha.
Model number is 751560-4300.
Price : Not in production anymore.
Now, I just hope it fits my HT81S.
Cheers
