or that i guess. not too impressed with the hardware that came with them but what can you expect for like $50 bucks or however much they were.

[Jbuck2KCivic]

Your car sucks.

I know . lol. It's a piece of s**t but I'm trying to at least start little mods here and there. Engine will come later. I'm not too worried about it right now.

In for my Asian b***h.

Really?? And considering a ton of salt and s**t is used here... Oh well. I don't know if I'll get to installing them tonight anyways. It started getting dark an hour ago.

nice start meng.

Is it? Haha. I bought it off Dannyloski on here. It treated me well though so I guess I should be indirectly thanking you too . Thanks!

I miss it . I can almost guarantee you'll like it. I mean it's only a 13mm but you can still notice a different in cornering and even going up and down steep driveways at angles.

Update on page 1!!

whats the size of the bolt you used for the 3 point tower bar? the one on top of the shocks.

 

[JohnS.]

I just went to home depot and picked up random bolts / washer / nuts. I believe I used 5/16.

 

[knightxrider1]

so you had to drill holes for the 3 point bar? and after all that me asking you questions about the R sway bar... i got one... and now you sold yours!?!?! wowzers

 

[pmac193]

Nice, the benen bar looks good

holy smilies in the original post

 

[JohnS.]

I have a tendency to use them a lot . I don't even notice I use them until I click post and I'm like..wtf lol.

I was kidding.

 

[matt96ex]

yea there is a ton of salt and s**t used here too. just noticed it a few weeks ago. i looked down and saw all this rust coming from the bolts. i was kinda pissed but i guess you get what you pay for. probably just gonna take them off.

the new strut bar looks good man. i couldn't believe the difference in how my car felt when i put my skunk2 front and rears on before. it was a night and day difference.

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

Just think, you were trying to sell that Benen bar for the longest time....probably glad you kept it now?

 

[JohnS.]

I was kidding.

I know but it is a pile of heap . If I only had a new engine, I'd be happy with it. Even another y8 with WAY less miles lol.

Why did you tell me about the screws!!! lol. I can imagine you can just buy new screws though and put them in. Or even a bolt / nut.

I'm gonna hold off on bars though for now. I'm against all bars except 3-points and rear sway bars and the only sway bar I want is a CTR + ASR brace combo and that won't happen for a while until I start getting hours back at my jobs. Of course if a particular bar can be argued it helps as much as a 3-point, I might go out of my way to squeeze out a lil bit of money to save for it .

I'm very glad . You should've picked it up when you thought about buying it .

 

[Bheims]

push start!!!!! in for progress

 

[enycesam]

Nice! I'm looking in to get that Benen tripod bar as well.
