installed cp racing front strut brace

[justanotheradikt]

so yea this strut brace is def worth the time/money...i LOVE it
but i suggest anyone who has one sand it down cause i found a s*** load of rust starting UNDER the paint...gotta catch it early. anywho enjoy!

(got the cp racing rear brace on the way)

pics 1 and 2 are of the stock bar
3,4, and 5 are the cp one during/after sanding

 

[justanotheradikt]

more pics!

pic 1 is after priming
2 is all finished and ready to instal
3 is comparing the two...which one do you think is better?
4 is in the car
5 shows that there is showing that it could have been finished better but oh well im happy.

I like how the new one bolts up, looks more supportive than the stock bar.

 

[justanotheradikt]

it feels a lot more stable

 

[D-rock240]

How much did that bar run you again?

 

[justanotheradikt]

me or how much from cp?

they are 150 shipped + 6month wait from cp i think...i paid less than half that

 

[D-rock240]

Damn, good deal!

 

[wannabe]

does it really make a difference over stock?

 

[justanotheradikt]

yes! do you do a lot of higher speed cornering?

it helps a lot with that...also it goes straight a lot better...like doesnt want to sway off track. where ever you point it..as long as your tires hold it will go

This will be my next mod right after new shocks, especially if it helps the car drive straight. I don't have a bar right now and it's noticeable. Did you have to relocate anything when you put the bar on your car or was it easy w/o cruise?

 

[justanotheradikt]

nope....straight bolt on/had to drill holes. i had to relocate one of my grounds but thats cause i put a lot of extra grounds....and i lost a bracket for something a long time ago that you might have to relocate but i dont think its a big problem

 

[justanotheradikt]

also installed the rear brace...it was BEAUTIFUL all of 45 min i drove before my wreck but id also suggest getting that!!! beautiful! wonderful!! hehe. anywho here are some pics and also both of these might be up for sale if my car does get totaled and i dont get an msp.

damn dude what happened with your wreck. did i miss that thread?

and hate to sound like an ass but i'll take that strut tower bar if you have to part with it.

What happened to your car? Hope everythings ok. If it's totalled there is a nice black msp on veterans at the bryan used car lot for sale. Don't know how much it is, but it looks nice from what I saw of it.
