It says it's for GD3. I would like this if it works. Already have a front lower arm bar (need a DIY for it btw)
It's not all that hard. Fitfreak and I will not hold any responsibility about install.
You just need to lift the car and remove the wheels. Then remove the plastic guard on the lower control arms. After that remove the bolt that connect the lower control arm to the subframe, place the bar and place that same bolt back in at 70ft/pounds, and repeat on the other side. Then place everything back in, do a slow test drive to make sure it's save enough to drive to the alignment shop.

hm that's interesting. when i installed my lower arm bar, i called a vendor to ask, and he told me that i wouldn't need an alignment after putting in the lower arm bar.
are you absolutely certain that your toe was out from the installation and that an alignment is required after this install? or does anybody elsee know? it would make sense because i had an alignment done before this install and i didn't get one done after the install. then when i checked my tires later on down the road, they were wearing pretty unevenly and i got an alignment done again. now i don't know if it was a sh*tty alignment or because of this install...

What happen on my, I'd installed in the middle of the night because I couldn't wait . But what I think what really happen is that I didn't have a bolt to spec

I would not recommend ULTRA RACING bars as well.. friend tested a few bars in the end nothing improved.
However, most of asian optionfan magazines say that ULTRA RACING bars are like Malaysian Carbing however Carbing VS Ultra racing bars are totally different story.
Ultra racing bars are made of steel which is extremely heavy, personally I stick with quality gear like SPOON, T1R, Js racing which they have done extensive R&D and race before they sell to the end users.
Have a look AJ RACING BEN's FIT......No rear lower bar, rear sway bar.
