i have not had the chance to "push" the car yet... but everything seems solid, and turn-in is crisp.
unfortunately i also got new tires the same day (out of necessity, blown tire) so i dont know how much improvement is the bar, and how much is the tires.
but i can feel a difference over my previous setup from a few days ago.
no dash creaks anymore too :-)

Re: I have an 01.5 w/sports pkg. No aftermarket bar will fit without some work.
where did you purchase yours from? Is the battery the only issue I have while installing the RaceTec? I read to use an Optima battery, I think it has a red cover, heard of anything like that?
Thanks

RaceTec bar will possibly push on the fluid resevoir as well...
It all depends on the year of your car and how close/far to factory spec tolerances it was manufactured. I've learned this the hard way with these strut bars... I'm on my third one and it still doesn't fit correctly. Damn 99.5.
