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.

works like a gem made the car turn in alot quicker. even my wife noticed.

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.

hi ben. I really have no idea. My wife got a job with Environment Canada, so in 6 months they might post us to toronto. I"m not sure.
