Mine was a pain in the butt to put on but I noticed alot of imporvement when I installed it.

You'll notice a difference. Definitely stiffens the front end... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

Is it hard to actually install the strut bar. I am not mechanically incline, but exactly what would I have to do to install a strut bar. I haved the gtz so i should feel some difference in the ride, am I right or wrong on this....Thanks JOSH

Well, mine was a biaatch to install.. I think I had a defective batch.. I had to grind inside one of the holes with a dremmel to get mine to fit properly..my shit is tight as hell.. yes you should notice a difference..
-
mine took like 3 hits with a mallot and went right on... anyone can do it
-

Nice.. I thought I was the only one... haha....
MUST have been a bad batch..
Kho, it is supposed to be an easy install.. unless you got one from the bad batch...
-
I lucked out...my strut bar went in perfectly, and now BGR has it. Wonder if he had to do any pounding...
-
I got mine fairly recently (this winter). It was the easiest thing I've evr done. Just take off the tower bolts and eyeball the unit for length and then fine tune it. I put mine so that it was a little tight getting on so it would do what it's supposed to. I think with no other mods to the suspension you will notice a big difference. If you get the Rear sway bar you'll be in excellent shape for not too much $.

BTW I always assumed with the strut bar you would want to extend it as long as possible when installing...am I wrong about that logic? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif

I sorta eyeballed mine, made it long enough for everything to fit, then tightened up the adjusting nuts until tight.

I got one form the bad batch too....I used a rubber mallet and pounded the shit outta it until it went down
