Well finally got my tools back from my friend after never being able to catch him at home!!
The bars do everything they advertise and more! I would say about 95% of the creaks and squeaks when getting into my driveway are gone. Transitions during cornering feel alot more stable now and the car is more predictable. I highly recommend these bars and for the low cost of $149 absolutely worth every penny. As I was told to expect the factory ones were bowed and no longer flat as they should be. It took me longer to jack the car up and put it on stands than it did to put these on lol.
Also over the weekend I sold the Wald Wheels and threw on some 2IS G-Spider Wheels as temporary wheels with the same spacers that the Wald wheels had. I honestly like them alot on the car and will likely keep them as daily wheels. Test fitting some Volk Winnings tonight from our shop Supra, hopefully they fit and I can buy them! Ironically they look almost identical to the G-Spider wheels lol.
Regards,
Robert

The mounting holes on the bars don't look like they match up did it pose a problem for you?
I think you should have kept the wheels the car came with, painted them like a titanium silver?
Nice car overall. That color is sharp. Sure the cop didn't pull you over for no plates? Thats what I would have done

The holes lined up without issue so no worries there. The Walds weren't really my style they simply came with the car. As for the cop i had the plate zip tied to the front at that time, I only recently took it off and put it in the window which from what a few officers told me is legal in Texas. Come Sept I believe we will no longer have to have a front plate period in Texas.
The kit includes 2 bars and they mount on the rear subframe of your car.

rear sub frame where? it looks like the bar that goes across your exhaust, if so wouldnt that interfere with the pipe on most aftermarket systems? or if its in the rear will this interfere with my 6 link kit? any pics installed? i am very interested!!!!
