it was a real pain in the ass trying to get the stock bar off because so many things were attached to it...but I prevailed here it is...

forgive me, but what does the strut bar do... i know it helps the body feel stiffer is it?

but what is the exact benefit?

Looks nice but what improvement over stock does it give?

tighter steering response.

yeah i've been driving it around for a day and a half now and it is tighter. the steering wheel feels a lot better and there is about 10% less body roll in the front. sways are next! plus it looks so much better than the stock...my car being silver and all. it's mostly cosmetic with a little performance thrown in.

yea..cant go wrong with spending 59 bux..sways will def help a lot..get ebiach..i just got a set and man its so fun driving..

what type of springs/shocks/coilovers you runnging?

I have the eibach, it's pretty stiff, you can tell when you drive how stiff it is, but also how hard it is to put it on. You have to kinda force it to fit in since it stiffens up the chasis.

you guys didn't like comptech much? what a surprise... i'll keep that in mind to get the eibachs. as far as springs, i only have the h&r sports and stock shocks for now. maybe one day when i get into the rotors/pads/rims area then i'll get something else. thanks for the comments

I went with Eibach because they are 1mm thicker in the rear than Comptech.

you have to use a rubber mallet or something to get it on there.

where is your throttly body on your car, looks weird

That looks real nice.

So the eibach STB doesn't bolt to the firewall like the stock strut bar?

CL-P, with love

Looks really good Funkee!

my tb is under the cover

hey funkee...how did u end up getting the part hooked on the back off?

niiiiice!!!! thats what im trying to get how much you get it for? i know optauto has a clearance on those eibach sbs....they're not making those anymore correct?

i got that back part off by printing some directions on how to put the comptech strut bar on. you basically take off the two parts off the plastic moulding that's by the wipers. you will find clamps there to push off the plastic. then you just loosen up the bolts underneath. i got the part from chopper through our own black market. i don't know if you can find it anywhere else. thanks for the compliments.

yeah optauto.com looks good. that's a good price.

nice, get the sways and you will love it more

you need a rubber mallet to get the sways in??? well so far i only have the rear in and it went in just fine..is it harder for the fronts?

This was the thread I needed to see. Looks great Funkee!!!

oh i see, it also looks like the tb on the 6 speed

Cool..thanks

i have a tl-s and my eibach strut bar went on with 0 problems. took of the stock one and put it on. didnt have to do any extra work or hammer it in or anything.

I believe for the hammering, they were talking about the sways.
