One of us will... I'm thinkin about takin out to some very very twisty roads tonight to see if I can tell a difference. I honestly don't think you will unless tracking, but worth a shot. It'll be fun.

Just put mine on. Had to adjust the bar a little bit to get the hood to close. But no problem overall, pretty easy. Don't think any pics are needed. lol.

On the main plate where the cross brace mounts to, I couldn't have it all the way to the top. My hood wouldn't close. So we brought it down alittle. And made sure it was even on both sides.

Hey Carolyn... Same here. I think that's why it has the groove so that we can adjust. Right now, mine are sitting about half way in the slot and about an 1/8th inch off the engine cover.

I noticed the same as you and had to adjust.

there really isnt any reason to review this... One... everyones looks the same... great look ... nice quality... Two... as far as the handleing aspec... these work well with other suspensions mods... and Where it does help... Its a help that you cant pinpoint while driving curves or tracking... in other words...theres no way to feel or tell what the bar corrects since you cant duplicate the same exact conditions, tire patch, angle or degree of turn etc etc... Hope this helps....

I took it out last night on a couple real curvy roads. I recently tighten my sways too so I know that also was a factor, but the G destroyed the road. I'd hit the same curves at the same speed before and I could feel a little lean, but now hitting them at those speeds, the G seems to say, is that all? Also a added bonus I seem to not hit the bumps as hard due to both the front and rear wheels being tied better.

I have to adjust my bar because it is rubbing slightly on the fire blanket

You have to sleep with Sharif's shop dog... Caesar. Just don't move at night or he'll bite your ***** off.

Thank you.

By the way, is it just me or are the nuts on the strut tower a #%&@ to turn?
