The bolt that holds the bottom of the strut. I didnt bring my tools that day and took it to a friends house. I broke 3 sockets and did the whole impact drill stuff, torch and whatnot. Didn't work. Bolt was stripped. Took it to my house and used my bolt extractor set. Came out in one try. That's when I learned to just use my tools from then on lol....you get what you pay for!

I had the same problem. Only my bold that connects to the knuckle was covered in undercoating and I though it was an 18mm when it was really a 17. Could have been bad. |

Strut tower bars in modern cars are considered dress up items. Modern cars have very rigid structures, so there's really not that much flex at the towers or so I've read lol.

Tint would be alittle more expensive, the cheapest good quality I've seen are around $150. I haven't noticed much of a difference, but you do notice more threshold in traction if you really push the suspension |

I'm glad to pay more than $100-150 for tint WITHOUT going anywhere near Newark.

Thanks for the feedback on the front strut brace, i'll pass.
So, i'm really set on 17x9 wheels. I plan on droping my car on coil-overs. those of you with 17" wheels, should I do the +42 offset or lower? What is our Centerbore size? I assume worst case scenario; play it safe on offset and can always run spacers to bring me flush. Thank you, pictures will help! |
