a few rain pics including Soul Function Strut Bar

[bicsintegra]

it started raining as soon as I finished installing the strut bar, no need to wash and wax now a couple of pics anyway.











rims are 20 X 9.5 all the way around, 35 offset, 245/35 in the front. 245/40 in the rear. car is lowered on Eibach springs, brakemotive rotors and pads, Eibach control arms with camber adjustment in the front, newly installed SOUL FUNCTION Strut Bar. Wheels stick out a very little barely noticeable, not exactly flush but I love the look, unfortunately my wife does too.

upcoming mods
08 sport front bumper sitting in garage sanding and waiting to get sprayed, with new sideskirts. I have not decided on the rear bumper I can not find one from a 08 sport in good condition. Injen CAI also sitting in garage will install when the sport bumper is ready. new hood struts being installed this week also. mediabridge getting installed this week, my CDs are trapped in the changer. Stereo system on hold until I get some quotes on the interior and headliner. Looking to get a 2008 QX56 in the next couple of weeks, then I can really concentrate on the M.

Do you notice any difference in ride quality with the strutbar in place?

Welcome to the forum.

It will not affect day to day driving much if at all. It will only show it's value in cornering situations where you're really going into a corner at a good clip. That's when it'll keep the suspension tight.

It will be a big work if you wanna put the OEM 08 rear bumper on your car. Some posts in Japanese forum showed the way is to combine the 08 and the original one, not only unplug and plug work.

I have not driven the car that much only 15 miles or so, I did not notice a difference as of yet.

thanks for the heads up, I will most likely go with the Sarona rear add on lip IF-005-RA and paint it to match the car.
