My new strutbar and cpillar!!

So i received the tanabe front strut bar yesterday morning from jdjohnson9 who is an awesome person to deal with!! thanks again for going through the shipping hassle!! heres a pic of it installed





And today i get js racing c-pillar bar from smatt!!



In terms of performance i didnt really feel any noticeable difference with the tanabe front strut in my opinion, however i did fell a slight improvement with the cpillar in cornering tho!!

Thats all for now!

That would have worked too, but I am not hating it. I think it's better than blue tuner-lugs on bronze rims on a silver car.

NICE! never thought of it that way. coat rack + looks cool = ok in my book. As long as you use it for something i really can not discourage it.

Nice!
I'm surprised you say that you've notice a difference with the Cpillar, but not with the front strut bar.

What kind of 'difference' do you feel?
