    your anti-roll bar is on upside down. the bends at the end are suppose to go Up and over the rear control arms, not bend down towards them.

    Installed my rear gussets, sans bar, a while back, and I was surprised how much of a difference just installing the gussets made. Still haven't been able to throw down for the rear bar, front frame brace, but someday

    All it is, is 2 12mm bolts on either side of the bar and 2 10mm bolts underneither mounted to the heatsheild, to get to them I put the front on jackstands and reached through the wheelwell and unbolted those top bolts then from underneath the car I got the 2 others, because there in a weird spot underthere I had to use a wrench for 1 of them. To pull it out I had to pull it though the wheel well(and it caught on everything) but you may be able to pull it staright up through the engine bay.

    Did the DC5-R rear strut bar modification a while back. Trimmed the rear panels and spare tire cover to fit the bar...works perfectly with minimal trimming. Would never know it's there.

    i bought a ebay front strut bar, and I was had a thought that the distance in the front should be the same or close to the rear. So I went to fit in the brackets, and the holes line up. It's just that that brace is blocking it. I think this weekend I will take those brace off and try to fit it on.

    This is not thread jacking. Just adding on to the rear strut thingy. Does your car understeer more or oversteer more with this mod? What do you think about replicating the rear brace idea and brace other holes as well?

    Car isn't as fidigy in the turns. The front brace really helps with steering inputs.
    I use to be tail happy... now it just squats and carves.
    I think what would make this mod even killer and compliment really well is to replace the OEM compliance bushings with solid/harder ones.

    NVM found it. http://www.icbmotorsport.com/dcalfrlocoar.html $90 though wow!


    I'm seriously thinking of buying this for my car. 1 question, where did the bar that connects the gussets come from? Is it part of the gusset package?

    same place where you found the ITR swaybar.
    Some peeps have found a cheaper place that sells the bar on flea-bay.
    i purchased mine from icb.
