Hey if you do not have one you gotta get it! Well worth every penny! Will tighten front end up. Really feel it in curves, normal cures 50+ now can do 70 easily! Give Pat e-mail looks sweet as it does work ! :D

[jwsvo]

Which one did you get and how was the install?

[SVOJEFF]

I got the one that Pat one of our members nad NY eric made! It really hooks up great. Where in Va do you live? I live in Richmond. Here is my e-mail dunevant@comcast.net Thanks and hope you too will have one soon? Jeff:D

This price that I mentioned was a error! You will have to contact Pat or Eric for the price of this product! i am sorry if i said the incorrect price, and will hope that you will contact the two of them with pricing and shipping! Like I said before it is a must have item and worth every penny! Thanks Jeff Dunevant:)

Currently the strut bars are a "Paid Members Only" special deal. The original manufacturer's style sold for $139.95 plus shipping. They will be quite a bit less than that but I have to get the paid members all taken care of first before I can offer them to everyone who visits here. They will be available within a few weeks.


Here's a pic of an installed one. (http://album.turboford.org/cgi-bin/album.pl?photo=00003626/bar.jpg)

Are there bolts coming thur from the fender well? It's hard to tell from the pics.

[SVOJEFF]

Yeah there are. Two on the passenger side and one on the drivers side. A total of there holes must be drilled to install the bar. You must remove the Vam and air box to get the holes drilled for the support bar on the passenger side. The total time checking twice and again would be about 2 hours! Really a good bolt on product that you will notice in track racing which from what you have posted you do alot of! Give Pat or NYEric a holler?My 2 cents worth! Jeff Dunevant:D

I think my brace (original JBA) was out too long. to get mine in I had to jack the car up by the K member. Then it fit just snug otherwise it was too tight to fit into the original holes without a hammer. If my header shows up soon I might be able to drive my car before the first snow. Thanks again pat.

Pat...
Got any pics from inside the fenders? I'm having trouble picturing how it mounts.
I assume there is a reason that you could only use 1 bolt on the pass. side? Obviuosly, the twisting resistance would be better with at least 2 on each side.

"Got any pics from inside the fenders?"
(No I don't. It would just show a 7/16 bolt and a 3/8 on the passenger side and one 7/16 bolt on the driver side)

"I assume there is a reason that you could only use 1 bolt on the pass. side?"
(There are 2 mounting locations on the passenger side)

"Obviuosly, the twisting resistance would be better with at least 2 on each side."
(What's not so obvious is the 2.35 inches of flat surface area that is clamped tightly by the two 7/16 bolts. This item was made to fit pre-existing mounting locations on Eric's car that is on the opposite side of the country, to replace a previous item which was no longer available. Consider a three-legged stool compared with a four-legged chair when resting on an uneven surface. One of them is going to rock a bit.)

Pat,
This matches the brace holes exactly as it was with my now discontined JBA brace. Could this brace have been made with 4 points (yea probably) But that is not the way it was originally made(weither right ot wrong).

I know it will solve the flex I have on my towers just due to the fact that I had to jack my car up by the Kmember to get it to fit .

I will just say thanks.:thumb:
