Default Figured it was worth a try. As an engineer I noticed

how the stock bar does a good job of connecting inner points of the strut towers, but not the outer points, where this bar connects. I figured that the bar would help correct any flex outboard of the stock tie bar.
See my previous post (yesterday) to see my observations.
Don't forget that these observations are based on a stock ssupension setup. I don't know if anyone with a modded suspension would notice a difference.

Default All you have to do is remove the bolt and washer

from the strut towers then reinstall the bolt only to the 75Nm factory specs. The only tricky part was trimming the plastic cowl cover.

Default I haven't seen the stuff they did in the last couple of years

I just remember helping Don try to do a brake mister to cool brakes down...it was a very quick and dirty set-up. Having a well built full roll cage does a ton towards improving the handling and limiting chassis flex. Firewall? We don't need no stinking firewall. :-)
