Thanks!

I like RR Racing's strut brace. Different and works, in my experience.

It looks great! Did you drill a hole for the wiring to go through? I do not know how the wire can go back on otherwise.

Nope, comes with pre-drilled holes

Look closely at the pix. You will see the wires going through the hole with the stock rubber grommet.

I think you or one of the other owner with the original RR strut brace was the inspiration for RR to improve on their design

. So thanks for that!

I have the TOM’S strut bar on mine.
personally I like it as it’s more subtle. Hence the name lol.

I definitely prefer the subtlety of the TOM'S brace, but I'm not a fan of how the left AVS wire bundle appears to have no slack. Did you adjust the line so it looks tought or is that as loose as it can be?
