Modified a dodge neon strut bar to fit today. Drilling the holes was really the only hard part and it was a pain because I didn't have the right size drill bit, then my battery kept dieing on my drill. I used my stock strut bar on top for a custom 3-point. I don't have any pics right now, maybe tomorrow when the sun is out (just finished about 10 minutes ago and it's about 1 am now. lol) I dunno if it's going to make any difference yet, as I won't be able to drive my car until at least the 28th...

OH BTW...i think the fenders look beter on yoru car... would've been alot easier with a breaker bar or a ratchet with a 1/2" drive. I used a 3/8" drive ratchet, and a 14mm socket... they were on pretty tight, but I was able to get them all off in about 5 minutes. with the right tools you could do it really easily. and thanks, the fenders will look better once I get the rest of my bodykits installed and get everything painted... but then my clutch broke and will be delaying that until such a time I can afford to do so. But so far, I really like the fenders. QUOTE(hitcachi) Im sorry, but im going to be realistic here. The neon bar doesnt do jack. its for looks, and to say, "Yay i have a 3 point strut bar! Im l337!!!" Just my 2 euros. If i wasnt a broke hungry starving college student who is too lazy to put in proper punctuation in this post, then yes, I would drop the dough and buy a real bar. But, meh. Im poser l337. umm.......... alright, you got me. I am a broke college student lacking the funds for a proper strut bar. but if the neon strut bar does nothing then the benefits of having something like a J-speed would have to be very minimal. and probably not worth an extra $575 -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
