RE: Just ordered strut bars for the subie!
 

This may be a shocker to some but I am not going to spend hundreds for a new intake to get a $20 dollar strut bar to fit. I think i may just look into either making a spacer to raise it up or talking to the metal shop teacher at my highschool and fab some new brackets.

double post bla bla bla


But the rear bar is going to be a pretty large project. I need to remove the back seat and some other junk. Hopefully I can do this tomorrow. I will def post some pics up of the project. We will just have to wait and see about the front. Maybe i can just jam it in there. :D

I wasn't saying you had to get the intake, I was saying it's a good excuse ;) (and thirty bucks on ebay isn't really a major loss)

Frankly I'd try bending the risers just enought to bend the bracket to clear, then just adjuste the bar to fill the space so it won't shrink back down. Rear seat removals suck, but most of the time they can be done pretty speadily and it helps a hell of a lot to have a guide (ever one i've done I've searched out a guide first so I knew what was where and such). In the end strut bars are worth the time and effort, every car I've put them on (this is even with the cheapo ebay ones) has shown dramatic improvement and in the case of my ex's saturn made the car alot more stable even with the crappy tires on it.

Back one is in! I havent figured out what to do about the front yet. The back seat removal was no sweat. Took 10 mins by myself to get it out. I never did anything with my honda back seat but if it is like the subaru's it doesnt provide much weight reduction. The seat and all hardware maybe weighed 10 pounds no joke. I have some pics that I havent uploaded yet which include the accident pics. I will have them up soon. I went for a drive and there is a noticable difference. The rear end seems a lot more stable, and a lot less body roll.

Front is on too as of last night! I just jammed it on there. Works like a charm. When i stop being so lazy i will load the pics up and post them.
