front strut bar

Its not super pretty, but unless you are looking under the car from more than 15 feet away you can't see it anyway. It's way functional though. I tested it on a cloverleaf where an otherwise stock suspension and tires I could go 45 before the car would start pushing and would eventually drive off if I didn't lift. After the brace, I could take the same turn at 55.

This might also have something to do with my stock tires only lasting about 10k..

i found those bolts that the brace goes under are a pain to get in and out...especially when the arm moves...only reason I stopped doing that project

pull the car up on ramps, do one at a time. yes they move around a little. I use my feet or knees to hold it once I set it by hand and then I can get the bolt in. I tend to use my whole body when doing installs since I'm quite flexible, not very big (5'5" 117"). For example, getting headers on a WRX, 5 of the 6 bolts lined up... I I used a jui jitso toss to get them the rest of the way on.

yea I just wasn't thinking when I unbolted it until I realized that was the bolt that held it in place.....I sometimes use the jui jitso toss on the back seat when it doesn't want to lock in place at the bottom
