for those of you that put this in.

am i the only one that didnt notice much diffrence what so ever. i put a vibrant bar on my old cavi and it made a huge diffrence, but on my balt ls..not so much, glad i didnt buy it new

 

really? I noticed a difference when I put mine on. Not huge, but I felt a difference. I picked mine up off ebay new for $80

 

how do they go on lol. mine just got here today and i got it on but then the passanger whole wont like up with the thread for the shock its about 1 cm off. any ideas? but i think it would would i had a freedom one on my sunfire and it helped alot.

 

I'd just get a file and shave some of that off. I had to do that to my rx7.

 

exactly..its what i had to do on the balt..i got mine used for 50 shipped

 

my DC bar installed in about 20 mins.....hardest part was gettin past where the hood sturt thing is. and i noticed a difference. not drastic but will be better with other suspension compenents........

 

I installed mine tonight and had the same problem. The fix is simple. Simply remove the third nut on the passenger side strut tower and jack up the passenger side of the car. The bolts will realign themselves and fit right in. I wouldnt want to shave anything.

 

pretty strange they ship out parts that all need to be modified to fit...



Too often, those big company dont really care about customer service after they sell something

 

Jack the car and it will fit. I noticed a differences in steering feel, especialy on turns with bumps in them. Great buy!!

 

Some of this is not DC's fault. With me working in the automotive industry as a supplier, it can be difficult to make sure that things fit perfectly. The sheet metals tolerance is +/- 5 mm. We have been told that if there are within 8 mm of nominal, that it is a good day. This can cause major issues when trying to line up things.

 

+1!! you need to unload the strut towers of any load to make sure that its going to fit right. That strut mount is the load bearing point in the suspension of the whole front of the vehicle!

jack up the front end of the car off the ground by the frame and let the front suspension hang.

 

If you read the directions that it comes with it states that you may have to jack up the passenger side of the car to get the strut bolts to align back to center so that the bar will fit. Almost everyone that I know that has this bar said they had to do that, including myself. I did notice a small improvement, but like everyone else says its nothing drastic. If you got a sway bar kit you would probably notice more improvement.
