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.

hey gary,

Good stuff you got there. How did the install go on the tanabe bar? Does yours give off vibrating sound at all? (Mine does sometimes when go accelerate from a stop). Yours is a MT right?

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?
