Indeed... I filled out my awesome forms awhile ago... I had to have numerous parts before I could acquire the strutbar to reach "awesome status"... finally got my status upgraded a few weeks ago 8) OEM bureaucracy madness :lol:

indeed that's why I bought it specifically! and plus I was amazed at the design compared to a normal strut bar... seems much more stable and it is alot lighter too! working on sourcing another one for the other car since it will have the same thermospacers 8)

Hey moon, do you think it'd be possible to do a very light coat of that transparent red paint on headlights? Would the light shine red? Or still come out clear?

I would not recommend this. I'm sure it would come through as red and that's illegal. I experimented with red headlight bulbs a few years ago and got pulled over for them... Fortunately I had a set of normal bulbs in the car so was able to swap them out without getting a ticket.

so I finally got around to installing my whiteline swaybar at jesse's house... as well as doing a coolant flush

endlinks had not been touched in 17 years so I just cut them since I had wybishops endlinks :mrgreen:

I am hopefully going to an autocross event in a couple of weeks to try it out for real... I also finally got around to trying to replace my ball joints only to find out I had bought the wrong ones (94+ spindle) so once I get the correct part and install them I"ll get an alignment.

I also got my traction bars... not sure when I will install them

Well...
How does it feel?
Almost as good as my car? :lol:
BTW Thanks for driving me around in my car to try to tune it. It was fun. It really means something that I trust you to drive my car like that. We should have gotten vids!
