It scratches on the driver side due to the bar not being even .. At least on mine ..

So far the install went fine. Fits perfect. I installed it on its lowest setting. Can't wait till Sunday to test it out.

you can get rid of the scratch by buffing it just do it when ever you wax your car.

The track day at California Speedway went really well today. My car felt a little better in turns with the strut bar. Next I'm going to get the GT Spec underbraces and see how much of a difference they make.

There is some rubbing on the driver's side part of the bar. It's not bad and it does look like it could be buffed out. The rubbing seems to be from the engine movement and not the fit of the bar. If you want a clean show quality strut bar, you probably don't want this one. But I really don't mind some scratches.

I am happy with the product and glad a got it.

Mine has the same rubbing issue on the driver side . Look at the bar crouching and you will see the driver side is a bit higher ... Has nothing to do with the engine flex .. Thats what GT-Spec wants you to believe ..

ya thats a pretty lame excuse for the rubbing. if it was engine flex, it would do it on both sides.
