Like I said, we'll post details in the morning, but we're very excited to do so! If you guys are half as thrilled as I am with how this has turned out (the product, performance, pricing, etc), we just might have a record-breaking group buy! Chase really nailed it this time!

Along with GB price and pix... a copy of the install instructions would be nice so those of us with two left thumbs can review prior to formalizing purchase.

Loosen the 4 nuts from the 2 studs on the diagonal braces on the strut tower end and remove, tie wrap AC line to fuel line per given instructions, put strut tower brace into position on studs, reinstall and tighten the 4 nuts (torquing to 12 lbft).... that's it.

There was chatting at the forum, for the word had passed around
That the strut bar from grimmspeed was finally away,
And had joined the online catalogue - it was was worth 90 pound,
So all the fans had gathered to have their say.

All the noted thread posters from computers near and far
Had poked their keyboards mercilessly overnight,
For the handling freaks love hard driving where the bumpy roads are,
And the front towers win the deflection battle with delight.


With apologies to A.B. Patterson.

Definitely still in for a black (#190). As I said in a previous post, this is definitely impulse buy territory and a price range the wife won't get TOO angry over. Anxiously awaiting payment info for next friday!

Vracer actually explains it pretty well, but we will have instructions up soon, just gotta make em Full time to install is roughly... 3-5minutes, 10 if you wanna take your time. We'll get on it though
