So it arrived this morning.



It too a bit longer than I expected, Who knows if I was just excited... LOL

The left side of the FTSB's point is not flushed. I loosened it back again but couldn't get tightened, here's a pic.

BTW, is there a Torque Spec to tighten the Bolts?







I took her for a spin, it's lunch time here so it was busy. OMG, it's amazing how a (Strut) Bar can improve handling, I could only do 140km on the ramps but felt like I could push her a bit more and I'm doing this on Stock OEM tires too. So I can't when I upgrade to 18's/Summers next Spring.

Do not torque the strut bolts, they are simply there to hold the strut in place and stop it from shifting, it could be loose and still work correctly. Tighten with a socket wrench and your good

Did your strut bar fit perfectly into the brackets, cause the welds on mine won't let it fit into the brackets.
