What Ive been up too (Autopower, JDM Honda, Buddy Club)
Well guys the car is finally done.....for a while 
. Here are a few pics I took today cause its so nice out here in MD. Sorry for the weird quality, sisters camera and its really sunny out.
Been on the BC's for a while but just recently swapped to 10k f / 12k r and I love them
. Just recently threw the bar in and wheel and I must say the car handles and feels great. Took a little getting used to higher rates in the rear but Cant wait to try out Shenandoah Circuit next month
(Car belongs to him btw)

Bars go through the rear speaker cutouts. Surprisingly i didn't have to cut anything to fit the plastic back in

I ordered it from http://ioportracing.com. They had great customer service and got the bar to me in under a month. Shipping was a little high though as they are in CA and im in MD. Rear speaker are still possible, just takes a little bit of zip tie work lol . And yes the bar is fully bolt in

Re: What Ive been up too (jaa1311)
Are those the Buddy Clubs with the spherical bearing top hats?
Where did you source the springs from, what was the inner diameter and where did you order them from?
I just installed a fresh set of BC's (well, actually D put them on for me), and the inner spring diameter is just slightly smaller than my first set, so I couldn't use the other (12K F/ 14K R) springs and am stuck with the 11KF/7KR for the time being.
Thanks, Ed
P.S D (Matt) did the work and I pretty much just took pics of the process.

Booooo... take the rear seats out! And all that plastic crap!
Just kidding.
I have the same bar and harness (That is the Autopower, right?) I like the Autopower 5 pt... although my instructor at my last BMWCCA event got the 5th point jammed and couldn't get it in for a couple minutes (odd....) The padding on the harness kinda sucks, but its functional.
