Haven't had a chance to get a good driving impression of these yet because it won't stop snowing, but tomorrow might be non-icy. These are beautiful bars, props to PW. The front bar is a PITA to install though. Took me a good hour total to do it. Anyway, here are my pics:

 

Those bars look nice. What was the trouble with the front bar install?

 

MUGEN INTAKE!

looks like it would've been a bitch to install. Question, does it does touch the Brake fluid reservior?

 

thats the mugne intake?

It's a tight tight fit. When you put one side on, the other side wouldn't fit, and vice versa. I had to "ease" one side on just far enough to get the nuts threaded to the shock tower, and then do the same with the other side. After that, when I tightened the shock tower nuts down, it brought each side of the strut bar down also. This didn't happen in one try either. At one point, I actually climbed on top of the strut bar and STOOD on it to try and get it to go on. Password might want to tweak their design a bit if they decide to mass produce these things, cuz I was almost at a point where I wanted to give up. Chris93Si had similar issues with his bars, so I don't think this was an isolated problem. They should also supply the screws/washers for the middle mounting point. That would have helped a lot too.

 

They do look hot, I'll be interested to read your driving impression. The front bar is quite a pain to get in but worth it IMO

 

You did a real nice job on the rear bar that **** is hot and neat I like that its not lifted it just goes right across evenly from the struts.

 

these bars look pretty solid. i've only heard good reviews. btw, your rear seats look like they're crooked.

 

Nice bars ya got there

Thanks.

 

nice bars! give us a review when you can

 

nice fake mugen intake

 

One tip is to drop the shocks first, put the bar one and then slip the shocks back through. I did this with my carbing after banging my head with it a couple times. 15 min install if you drop the shocks a little.

I don't know about 15 minutes, but that might have made things a bit easier.

 

what intake is that??

That seems like a bit much to install a simple strut bar which should be a 5 minute deal... but if it works

That’s exactly what I am thinking.... 1 hour for a strut bar; I hope it’s worth it.

 

How much did you pay for the rear bar?

Looks like $149

Nice! The color matches your rusty header heat-shield bolts

And if you bang any more fat chick on your back seat it looks like itd collapse

 

Damn nice looking struts. Hope to hear some good reviews soon.

 

Looks pretty good. The fitment on those bars look pretty tight.

Question: What's up with the uneven rear seats? Curious to see how they are so bent out of shape.

 

i guess the struggle to get them in place will make the chassis that much more rigid
