Problems

Needed to use air compressor to tighten the studs to the strut rings.

Tips

Pretty straight forward, except you will need a larger star screwdriver (forgive my knowledge on tool names, I just know what they look like)

Thoughts

When turns, such as highways and clover leaf entries or exits, the car response perfectly and with little effort. The car feels very stable and sturdy when taking high speed turns. The strut bar looks a lot stiffer than tube strut bars, thus giving me more confidence in its durablility. The only set back I have is that at every stop, i hear a "creeking" noise coming from my engine. Nothing major sounding, but something to make me go hmmmm.

Other

Although high in price compared to others, i feel that the Stillen Strut bar is very durable. I have confidence that i will not see this thing break and bust through my front hood like I have seen with neuspeed strut bars.
