Thanks for the confirmation on fitment with the D-specs!

just to reiterate, it will go on over the engine cover and stock air intake tube? I had ordered the Stillen, then found that it will NOT go over engine cover nor stock air intake tube...

Yes this will fit over the stock engine cover and stock air intake tube. You're not running a spacer too are you?

I just wanted to give my thoughts on the bar real quick.

I drive my car HARD...day in and day out, unless I'm really sick. I noticed a huge difference in the way the car handled just turning the corner when I left my block to head for the windy roads around Valley Forge. Definitely a lot less body roll and more confidence attacking corners and exiting.

There is this route I always take through Valley Forge park with my gf and I can honestly say that I feel a huge impact. I took my sister for a cruise through that area today and she notice a huge difference in handling as well. I might be picking up a bar for her car as well.

I also noticed that when I hit bumps, the car doesn't jolt as much either.

Like I said earlier, I drive my car hard so I know how it handles when pushed. I can totally vouch for this product. People who have sat in my car since install can also tell a big difference!

Awesome review RXM!!! Glad you enjoy the product.... another satisfied customer added to the books.


Just wanted to thank you guys again for your support on this product.
Can you guys believe its been almost been EXACTLY ONE YEAR since this project was started???

The Making of the Richie Front Strut Bar
It all started when VQ35DEJ posted his ARC Titanium STB for sale (7/16/06)

Then project 'Richie Front Strut Bar' got rolling (9/16/06)

Then the first TEASER picture (prototype 11/04/06)

Then the v1 bars finally ARRIVE
(1/31/07)

Took some nice pics and ran the first group buy
(2/6/07)

Today.... 06/27/07.... another 4 months from the first group buy version 2.0 is released.


Thanks again everyone for your patience on this product. Hopefully I'll get the 07 sedan version going....and then onto the 08 coupes.
