Well guys, I got the line because I was loosing two bottles of power steering fluid a week.And my set up honestly was deplorable...I figured with all the buzz about ISIS products I would give some info from my experience.It took us about 45 minutes to instal it if that.There was absolutely no modification required.This is probably the first project on my car that went 100% smooth.

On to pictures...Previous set up_

Difference between the lines_

I teflon taped all the fittings, just in case_

Installed_

Finished product_

I also installed energy suspension tension rod bushings yesterday..

This made a huge difference and is pretty cheap.And then some random pictures from the day that turned out pretty cool...

Pretty much, but i think the length of it really helped. It seems to turn much easier, and smother now.

the difference i felt was in overall steering/wheel response.less slop.my old bushings were for the better part fu*ked

It really does make a big difference and really cleans up your bay.And yes the ES bushings just made the turning feel so much tighter especially at high speeds.

Thank you sir.And by the way Enjuku is one of the greatest companies I have ever delt with. Amazingly fast, and kept me informed every step of the way.

yeah mine old TC rod bushings still had fluid in them so i think they were ok. What also helped the overall steering response was the custom nismo power brace and the steering rack bushings.

How difficult was it to install the steering rack bushings?
