Does that make it less effective than another type like the Tanabe that has some adjustment and suggests unloading the front suspension first?
It's maybe 8lbs? Its so long it was hard to gauge when I held it.

In my experience, there's no reason to lift the front of the car to preload it. I figure you'd want to bolt it to the car with normal load on the towers anyways.

There's a reason they made a solid bar instead of a adjustable bar through all their testing...
