Pretty painless install as richie didn't really tell me how to install it since he wanted to get an idea of how it would be for someone he ships it to. I have a 5/16th Motordyne spacer (the picture richie attached last night), and there is plenty of clearance as I am not using my engine cover.
Bear in mind, I am a very good friend of richie's so I understand my view of the bar is a little biased. But I got a chance to test it out last night and some this morning before work. My initial thoughts are that its very similar to what everyone else has been saying about any tower bar (ARC or VRT); marked improvement in regards to turn-in, front end feels more planted, and steering just feels a little more natural now. Its not a huge difference, but its very subtle.
If you've ever had a strut bar on a previous car (I had 94 accord w/ neuspeed), its a very similar feeling. Once you've got it on your car, you can't really imagine not having it on.

richie,
Is there a dealership nearby that would let you pop the hood on an '07 and just hold it on there to see if it appears to work or not? We are going to get some pics off the loaner we have (hopefully today) but we had to pull the dryer apart to fix it last night.
I was just hoping they might let you do a visual to see what you thought. I really am hoping that it will fit because the price is awesome!

So, how many of these do you have already fabricated? will you ask for the remaining balance once we hit 20?

For those that have sent FULL payments, your bars were shipped today and you should have received an email containing your shipping information. If you have not received an email, please PM me. Thanks!
