Got my K-Break Strut Bar installed
First of all, I want to thank {-.-} (Robert) for helping me to acquire this strut bar from Japan. I was hesitant in doing on-line deals after reading about other members having bad experiences with other members. After I found out that some CL members have done transactions with Robert, I was a little more at ease. I must say, he kept me informed through the whole process (from the time he received my money, ordered my part, received the part and sent out the part). After chatting with him a little (via email), I found out that we're from the same city here in California (back when he used to live here in California). What a small world.
As for the strut bar, it had just enough room for the EDFC connector (sorry 93LexoGS300
). I guess all the praying paid off. The EDFC connector is actually touching part of the bar but I don't think it should be a major problem. I didn't really get a chance to take it for a "real" test drive yet. I did feel some improvements but nothing major. I think maybe that's because I already have the Tein (stiff) suspension. I did notice the car reacts quicker/better to little movements of the stirring wheel (i.e. changing lanes on highway) and the car did stay a little flatter during turns (even on softer settings on the Teins). I'll do more "testing" tomorrow.
Robert, thanks again. The Bar is awesome. I can't believe my search for a Strut Bar is finally over....after 3-4 years. Now, the search for sway-bars.

I can't wait to hear about the results of your testing.
