If you do, what are your thoughts about them? Are you happy with the handling? Was install easy? How is the finish holding up ect? Thinking of pulling the trigger on these and use my $65 off AM coupon. I'd like some input from anyone with them.

Thanks in advance,

I've got them. For the most part I'm happy with them (huge improvement over stock), however I'm going with one of Strano's adjustable rear bars for next season. I'd like a stiffer bar out back.

As far as finish, etc., no complaints, but I don't drive the car much, so one would expect them to hold up well in that regard. The install was very straightforward, and I don't think there's much to it that will be significantly different than other bars.

Best,

I see you haven't done springs or shocks yet. Maybe do these first? May not be much improvement over stock for street driving. Just musing.

Cheers.

I got these bars before doing springs/shocks and I could tell a difference from stock, but only after I installed BOTH bars.

What happened was, I installed the rear bar first on my own. Couldn't get the front of the car up on stands at the time (I was living in an apartment complex), so I had to take the car to a tire shop. On the way there, I did a few swerves and slaloms and didn't notice any difference from stock, but after the front bar was installed (on the medium setting) I could definitely feel an improvement in the swerves.

I was actually pretty please with the way my car handled then, and only got the springs afterward for looks. As far as durability, the rear bar is getting a bit squeaky, but that can be fixed with a grease gun. No paint peeling so far.

There will be shocks/struts (Koni SRT's) in the near future but no springs. Can not lower the car at all. Have a nasty pitch going into the underground garage at work. Have to crawl in and out now and just make it. As I said, with the AM coupon they would be $275. Just hate to let the coupon expire.
