Total LOL...for those that dont know i do a huge amount of mechanic work at my home to pay for above mods...

the bar is awesome..sorry to be brief before but i was posting while the altima was idling to let the waterpump/timing chain settle in,

ok so around turns body roll in rear is massively reduced, the front leads stiff and the rear follows without wanting to kick around like before

have only driven around the block at the moment but must say im impressed.

i have had a few setups on the car, the last being the torque forward rear bar (show how long i have been a member of this site if you know what i am talking about)

this is a night and day difference over what it was before and i have sportlines and DC front bar on there as well
