my bar came like that also, where its upside down. I just took the bar off and switched it so when you pop the hood it faces you

 

ditto

took about 20 minutes, had a slight problem getting driver side strut tower nuts loose (had to use a breaker bar)

beyond that, people might want to note, has slight problem fitting with stock DX airbox in place (I had to take off one of the clips, and break off a little plastic tab on it)

other than that, simple, straight forward, does tighten response in the front end quite a bit over the stock

 

 

I dont understand the handling differences. How does it improve turning stability. Can someone try to explain how it feels.

 

around corners when you come out, your car might wobble a little, but this way its tight and you're car stays even, idk, its really hard to describe, but its aweosme. Belive us, for real you wont regret spending the $30

 

I will regret or wont?! im guessing i wont hahaha but anyway are there name brand ones or will a cheapy ebay one do the trick.

 

lol edited, sorry, yea you wont regret it. The DC ones are awesome, but i've never heard anyone complain about anything with the ebay bars.

 

aight ill be looking into it soon.
