bwoody rear strut is installed..

So the usps dropped this off at my house right before i left for TunerEvolution so i decided to throw it on real quick haha. I can feel a little bit of differences..the rear feels a little more stiffer around turns. Well to me atleast haha. Here are the pics....

I have the Torque forward version on for like a year now, and the clearance is not really an issue. This one is adjustable though, so you can actually preload if you were so inclined, (not that it would be terribly helpful)

I just ordered this along with my Progress Rear Sway bar for an upcoming track day. I just got the "economy" version...it will do, there will not be a noticable difference between the two. Yeah, what does it bolt to?

I don't think that will bolt up with the progress bar as the install locations are the same.

although I don't think having an ultra stiff rear like that with nothing to even it out up front is the greatest idea. one or the other should be plenty IMO...

the sway bar should take the same stock mounting spots as the original one. The diameter is just bigger.....that is the way that others I have installed have worked before, and the strut bar should on seperate nuts.



IMO

You're thinking of Torque Forward if you mean the issues Dan had.

Cool, good to know, I've been looking for something like this that won't restrict me on installing other parts.
