Got Front and Rear Strut bars today from a friend for super cheap. I only got a picture of the front because I have to find out if the rear will fit with my sub being bolted to the back seat.

Well it was a camera phone and I dont think I let it focus all the way.
I drove it to a friends and didnt really try to corner hard but I guess you could say it feels like the car is more controlled and safer around corners. Until I lower the car the bars will only do so much.

Nice. And definally get some springs to lower it. I just got my Tokicos on last night and it definally rides alot better. Its all nice and fresh. I feel every little bump and everything. The only thing that I dont like at all is that it didn't lower the front at all. Maybe about .5-.75 inches. the rear is lower, about an 1. but the front is still kinda high. I'm hoping it just has to settle some, cause if not, I might be upgrading to something lower.

I'm facing a dilema with the rear. My sub is bolted to the back seat and interferes with where the rear strut bar has to go by about an inch or two. There isnt really any room to move the sub box up or down so i'm gonna think about things today at work and see what I can come up with.

i have my sub box strapped to my rear strut bar
actually half of the reason i bought the rear strut bar was so my subs would stop sliding

and i stole trustdestructions method of attaching the subs

I have a semi permanent fix for the sub box. It is pretty secure being against the back seat and under the strut bar. I will attatch it soon when I'm not so lazy.
