Probalbly I'll have to use an universial one.
But here in Belgium, there are difficult to find and it is legal to use ...
Does someone has a tuningdealer with strutbars in his neighbourhood?

Is a "strut bar" a brace that goes between the top of the two front struts to reduce flexing and tighten up the handling? You might need to search under a few different names to find one (unless someone on here knows a good link.....)
I have a friend here in Tassie that got one for his 2003 Elantra but probably got it locally.

I though that's what you meant (My friend has one as I said) Have you checked all the sites we have links to for i30 mods..?

Quote from: "i30manUK"
In England we call it a strut brace. You can buy adjustable ones. It's just a matter of finding one that fits the i30!
That's just the problem! I can't find a good shop here in Belgium. Neither a good online shop. I've searched many sites and they had only a few ones for a small amount of car.
This is a nice site: http://www.onlinetuning.com/
But only 18 bars and no universal ones

Just take some photos of one you like the look of or do some drawings then give them some accurate measurements. Get a few prices from different places should find one that would enjoy the challenge!

I'm gonna measure it some time later. Make some drawings and share with everyone here.

Just a play on words.. Strut (strutting your stuff = showing off / being clever)
