The strut bar is freaking gorgeous. and feels really well made.

Ok boys... i've succumb to peer pressure and spent 20 minutes unwrapping the saran wrap.

So I am fully convinced of the wonders of handling. Going down the road tonight after I installed the strut bar (also installed rear sway this past weekend) some dude cuts me off at 60mph... i swerve from the middle lane to the left lane and back and it felt like i was doing 15mph... car handled it perfect without skipping a beat.


...I like being able to handle :twothumbs

thanks MRZ has em for $135

Those look really great :)

Thanks bud... the sills look awesome on the car, the strut bar kinda sits so far back against the firewall that it hides back there out of the way and looks nice at the same time.

I was going to go with some of their stuff, but we still don't know what will be useable after the chassis work is done.

I'm glad you got the parts and that you love them ;)

Good to see your car is still in one piece after this guy cut you off :twothumbs

get us some installed pic if you get a chance...

Thanks again! it's a pleasure to deal with you :twothumbs


just got your installed pictures, thanks!

yea i wanna get a strut bar sooner or later...i was looking at the dc sport one...but man that thing just looks sick

Invest a couple more bucks and get a solid piece of 1/2 x 2 CNC machined billet aluminum instead of the DC Sport 1 inch diameter 1/16 wall tube welded... :cool:

dude... like Matthieu just said, spend the extra 25. It looks really nice and is so much easier to get in. the DC bar looks like a pain in the ass. this comes in three pieces and puts together piece of cake. the separate pieces actually make it easier to put on since it is some tight quarters on the drivers side.

Looks sweet!!

I am sold.:twothumbs Too bad I don't have any money to spend right now.:thumbsdow

Oh yeah, and OrngBalt, RIP OUT THAT OIL CAP SPACER!!!! Just pull up and towards you, and it pulls right out (with a little bit of muscle). It is supposed to twist out, but it would take a vise. The cap then just screws in like it was made for it.

Not that great of a Picture, but you can tell that it looks a whole lot better.

you know... i never would have even thought about that. It sits more flush afterwards? I was thinking of getitng a nicer one from a certain vendor on this site **cough cough** MRZ **cough cough**

I might have to take a peek at this.
