I forgot that I've never taken the time to show this to you guys...

It's a super ghetto STB that a friend built for me a while back.

Nice! How'd you attach it to the strut towers? Is it just a single bolt on each side?

here's the thing, the guy owns a full machine shop.
i give him an old harddrive and old video card and he makes me parts.

bill made a round c shaped bracket that uses 2 bolts per side, then welded the bar in place. there is also one in the back but makes my back end too twitchy [my suspension is shit]

i don't have any rear pics but i'll try to get some one of these days.
