United StatesPretty simple install. I used the new bolt option. Recommend using a high lift while car is under load especially on passenger side. I had trouble trying to reach torque specs with tire in the way. I got it as fat as I could then removed the tire and got the extra 90 degrees.
United StatesInstall was a breeze. Reused factory bolts but torqued to spec. Fit with my jbr charge pipes on my 17 ST just had to adjust my coupler. Also noted quality was great and smooth silver finish. Now fswerks send me some apparel lol.
Looks nice! thanks for the feedback :-)
CanadaBar looks great, I'm sure it would bolt right up if I were stock. It doesn't clear my exhaust flange for my downpipe and I will need to modify my flange and the bar to make it work.
United StatesDid not feel immediate difference in handling until driving hard. Easy install. Wish I had known it is very close to the exhaust flange and can vibrate car at higher rpms.
Awesome product!! Keeps car flat on turns and stable!!
Thank you :-)
