Thanks for the insight. I'll have to look in to both of those options.

Got a nice package last night...

Installation was simple as could be. I have more trouble getting my pants on in the morning. Car feels great. It feels a lot less busy, more planted, and the NVH reduction was pretty surprising actually. Took some on-ramps about 10mph faster than I felt comfortable doing before. Gonna go out on some back roads today and give it a proper thrashing.

Thanks for the great part at a great price!

Went for a nice long drive today. One thing I really noticed today was that transitions seemed much smoother. Really quick flick Esses seemed to be quite a bit easier to get through at speed. Mid corner corrections seem to be down as well. Just pick a line and it stays.

Once again, awesome product.

I may have missed it somewhere in this gigantic thread, but do you guys have any plans to do a solid bar for the rear end as well?

GrimmSpeed · 10-10-2013, 01:18 PM

@boredom.is.me That is incredible. That is EXACTLY what I wanted to do but still haven't gotten around to! Your paint fill looks completely professional too, thanks for sharing that, I love it.
@RazBRZ Did you strip the bar first, that also is awesome! Seriously looks sweet, thanks for sharing that with us too.

I too have a serious problem with pants, is it left leg first, should i even bother unzipping them, HOW! Thanks a lot for the review, glad you enjoy it, we're loving ours too!

Intuitively, the design of the rear suspension should have less potential for improvement from a rear strut bar. We had planned on testing a prototype to see if that hypothesis was correct, but have since decided to shift resources to other projects, including intake testing

So tentatively we are not.
