I'm a big fan of Richies upper strut bar but the hardware included with his
bar is some of the worst I've ever seen! Looking at the threds on the bolts
there anything but cut correctly, obvious Korean or Chinese quality. Try
getting one of these off once you've tightened and it's stripped.....talk about
busting your nut......Oooffff!
