Default I don't think it's available anymore....>

There was a slight hood rub issue that can be gotten around with careful installation....Some never noticed...

Default Okay...

Well how do I do it, since mine is on the way... and how do I adjust it for additional performance, or stiffness?

Default Josh I think if

you run enough preload there will be no issues. I didnt not readjust it before I sent it to you. YOu might want to measure it exactly before loosening it then install it and set back to where it was. Mine had zero issues at this width.

Default This works too...>

Mount to the shock towers. Leave the bulkhead bolts loose. Spread the bar, preloading the shock towers out (with the center adjusters). Lock it all down. That should minimize issues!

Default Re: Forge Strut Tower Bar....

I installed mine the other night. Thanks to Steve's advise, everything fits perfect. Its a very nice part...althought I think its more for looks than performance.
