let me know how that helps...

I'm likely going to need go get as much stiffness as i can with my engine/trans swap coming in the near future.

I took her out on the highway after the install, and I didn't notice a big difference in the stiffness of the front end, but you have to remember that since the MC went in so easily, that I didn't have a lot of sway toward the engine bay with my shock towers. I just put the MC on to make sure that in the future I would not have a problem.

Default Nice install!

Great job Soaring!
Some of the bars do not have the correct flange mounts and can be a real PITA. That looks really good.

Have you installed an export brace yet? I couldn't tell in your picture, and don't remember seeing it.
If not, I'd highly suggest that one too!

Keep up the great work. Your car is really looking good.

FYI when installing the bar it's usually best to lift the front end and allow time for the towers to sag a lil'. Just a tip

Even though my frame is shot, it was too hard to install mine. it helped mine tons, since my front end didn't have any braces, or cross-members.[:@] GUYS, MY CROSSMEMBER COMES IN TOMORROW. I cant wait to install it, and see what it does.

I wish I could get mine in that easy. I let the car sit on a stand for 3 days so the shock towers would go back to normal. They didn't budge a centimeter. I have two rubber BFHs and another person helping me and we still couldnt get it to fit inbetween the towers. [:@] I gave up and I read that since mine is so bad i'll have to get another alignment which costs money. I can live without the bar for now.
