Installed the Swift Racing Strut Tower Triangulation Bar
 

Installed the Strut Tower Triangulation Bar from Swift Racing. It installs on the same bolt as the diagonal braces in the engine bay, it goes underneath them so I had to unbolt the braces first. There is a hose that kind touches the bar but it does not put any pressure on the hose itself.

Took me 15 minutes to install...

How's the feel?

I won't know until I hit another autox or hpde event. :D

Take it for a drive , some hard corners you should notice right away

I'll take her out tomorrow, it's already 11pm here

Actually let someone else drive it who doesn't know you changed something and see if they notice it at all....

I got mine yesterday, but haven't installed yet. Does anyone know what to torque the nuts to? My manual has NO info.

Do you have a part number by chance? Haven't seen this one yet

According to @thermobox Post #4: www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13886

16 nm = 11.8 lb ft

the nuts/bolts were not torqued that tightly so I just torque measured it by hand :)

In regards to the feel, I dont feel any difference the bar makes on the street. I'll take note next time I autox

RE; Torque - just eyeball it

Unless the chassis is sloppy to begin with (which I doubt it is) you're not gonna see any real diffence with a strut bar. It's been know for years that these thing are ultimatly a waste of money. If you have an old tired worn out car like my S14 with over 100k on it you may notice a small difference.

Yep, they're just a snug past hand tight. Those values are from the Subaru Service System.

I primarily bought this for some stealth bling ;)
