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.

sick06cobalt 09-06-2007, 07:50 PM looks great man! congrats
OrngBalt 09-07-2007, 01:31 AM 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

OrngBalt 09-07-2007, 11:17 AM i am sure its the doors step plates! :D:D:D:D
Oh yea... that metal stuck between the door and the sill really hold me to the ground nicely. LOL
how much was the strut bar...it looks sweet
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.
victory_red_SS 09-07-2007, 11:20 AM Post pics of the installed parts.
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.
OrngBalt 09-07-2007, 12:36 PM ill try and get some when I go out to lunch... I only have a camera phone so its good for some pics... and awful for others
disposable_her0 09-07-2007, 01:12 PM 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

Not bad pictures for a cell phone...
MRZ - RedGTZ 09-07-2007, 03:10 PM 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:
OrngBalt 09-07-2007, 05:22 PM 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
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.

Archie 09-12-2007, 01:48 AM 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.
