GT Spec Strut Tower Installed

Very easy install and thankfully the EDFC motor mounts fit with the tower! Andy at hpautoworks.com hooked it up. I love it so far, really holds the front end tight. With this, sways and coilovers... ummm OMG!!!! every turns is just then and best part is when I set the EDFC to stiff and my gorgeous girl is in the car....

Hmm... I never really paid attention, but AFAIK, shouldn't even be best unless you're purposely tweaking it one way or the other? I know adjustment is allowed on the right side for that purpose...

I just made sure there was even clearance when the engine torqued and that's where they ended up.

As long as the engine has enough room over it for movement, it really doesn't matter where the bolts end up. I also tried to make it even over the engine.

actually a bit! before the rear felt a little tight and this made it even, plus I feel like the front stocks better going into a 90 degree turn

To be honest, for the price... I bought it because it looked tight on the car, but def does make a difference. So looks + performance for about $200.... had to, it's REALLY light too... do hardly adds weight, maybe a pound or two.
