I don't track the car so it's mainly cosmetic and not utilized in my day to day driving. Also, I'm thinking of selling this car.

If i may ask, how the hell did you get the middle nuts off to install this on both sides? Also, the bolt that holds the stock bar, I cant get those two loose for the life of me and I figured I would have to loosen them to life the stock bar a few mm to be able to get that center nut out...Is there a specific type of tool you used, cuz I dun wanna wreck my ratchet

You can use a standard 11mm hex wrench or socket to loosen the nut on the black brace bar. Then lift the bar slightly to access the strut nut underneath it. I had no problem at all and it was an easy install. Nuts were tight but could be undone okay on mine.

Right, use an 11mm hex socket and a long ratchet to get some leverage, it is pretty tight. The black bar actually can swivel out of the way.

Bump

Half the price and it's still here? I love mine, so whoever bought it should love it.

I think it works out great with front sway as a combo. Didn't really feel as great what ppl said with front sway changed for my DD, but with the strut, it changed my thought!

Free bump for a good item.
