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... Before and After Pics: |

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 |

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.
