Can anyone who has this comment on difficulty of install? Seems pretty straightforward...but if I'm gonna do this I would prefer not to have to take it to a shop. I do have tools available. Any idea how many until the production run ends?

The Benefit of Richies bar vs. stock

Stock bar, uses only 3 bolts on each side, to bolt to the "FRAME"... the RV6 bar also bolts to the actual struts/shocks via FIVE bolts ..(2 on the frame, 3 on the strut)
same. i thought it was just me, but i guess not.

you can just tighten the bolt on the fusebox and it will be stable. even if it looks like its floating, its still tightened. mine doesnt move at all.

I actually made so little she gave me discount on filing

I tried taking a picture and they both came out looking the same. Basically lollipop blue is a little darker and looks more purple. I would describe it as Civic Si color from late 90s. I can try again tomorrow with no flash and natural lighting.

Hey Richie... I wanna order a strut bar, but I'm a little slow I went to your website and got a little confused. Can you or someone else help me out. Which options do I need to select? How much should my total be?

^ here you go!

http://r-v 6 p.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3303149

Remove the spaces between v 6 p because if you put them together, the auto filter will delete it!

Read thru the instructions on the page but it should be $165 shipped for the base bar and brackets. $15 extra to powdercoat your bar. $25 extra to powdercoat your brackets.

Good luck!
