2. were there any clearance issues with the hood (i.e. did u have problems closing the hood b/c the bar was angled too high)??
3. how easy was it to bolt down??

1. No, it sits right behind it.
2. Nope, it is the same height as the stock one.
3. Remove 2 nuts on each shock tower, place strut bar on bolts, tighten down the 4 bolts. Done.

Order direct from Neuspeed and service great!
Take off 4 nuts on shock tower, place strut
bar, replace the 4 nuts, tighten and 10 min.
later you have a much tighter-stable handling
car and thats after my other mods!

I have had mine on for about two weeks now. Unfortunately, I can't tell much change in handling. I don't pound around tight corners aggressively very often, so I'm probably not the best qualified to comment.

I'm with hammerman... I installed it real late one night pretty much while I was drunk or high..forget which one. The next day I totally forgot I did it and drove the car to and from work. About 60 miles round trip on twisty roads. I kept thinking to myself, "I can't wait to go home and install that Neuspeed strut.

So I get home and open the hood to find that I already did it. I felt no difference whatsoever. I bang those corners at 80-85+. Maybe there is a difference but very minimal (about 80 dollars worth ) So maybe its psychological, but I had no idea it was in there and didn't feel THAT big of a difference to tell me it was in there.

CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE STOCK SWAY BAR!!!! The NUESPEED bar alone will NOT provide enough support!!!!
