Default Got the Carbing bar on...finally...

Thanks Dee. I had to shim the master cylinder and booster assy.(ITR) so that it tipped dowm a bit to fit the bar over it...
Also got the Cusco m/c brace on. Thanks to Leo for his promt shipment. Here's another crappy pic of my terd... with the track wheels and tires(225/45-15 R3s03's)

Thats the master cylinder support bracket he was talking about.

jg: notice any difference in the stiffness of the front over other strut tower bars you may have had on there. Just curious if its worth it or not.

Looks good!

Carbing Type 2 fits EKs too



Very nice bar, lightweight but VERY stiff. Noticeable difference vs. the ITR strut bar I used to have - may have something to due with the different mounting points (ties the shock towers together).

I used to have a Neuspeed bar on there( ties upper control arm mounting points together). This is definately stiffer! The fact that the Carbing bar ties to the firewall is a huge advantage. It's a hell of a lot lighter too. The only pain in the *** with it is the fact that I have to remove it when needing access to the brake fluid reservoir The bolts that go into the firewall are pretty much only accessible with box-end wrench- I couldn't figure out a way to get my sockets in there. Oh, well.
Thanks for the kudos guys.

I'd like to know the price too.
If it is better than the Neuspeed then this must really deserve some praise.
