I've got it and it is awesome. It works great with the CompTech sways. The installation takes approximately 10 minutes. The only thing is, you may have to jack up one side of the car in order for the holes on the bar to fit into the screws. No hard labor.

I got both upper and lower front tie bars. Feels much better...more solid on fast turns. Very easy to install. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

Stylin Silver TL,
Got the thought of your message favoring support to your friend Snook and I believe we can discuss thiese issues like true gentlemen.
I can only speak for myself that I did not have enough information that he can sell this stuff to me. Secondly, there may be other factors like convenience......Neuspeed office/factory for example is only about 35 miles from where I live. Any problem I may have , I can drive to them to correct the problem..
Anyhow,I'll remember him next round and I commend him for the great job that he has done on this TL site. It truly benefits TL owners.
For the record.
juniel
