car is a 1999 9-3 stage three with koni springs and shocks, 22mm sway bar, 6 point brace, urethane everything, and now proud owner of this product for THREE months now!

Ok so the install... although it was a little awkward, i find that pre planning and really understanding the steps is the only way to go about this install, but don't get discouraged, keep at it because you will not regret it! you should also know that i modified a 19mm angled wrench by cutting it in half so tightening the top screws making it easier, but it still was a little trick... (don't get me wrong i cursed quite a bit lol).
I got the one piece brace as i noticed that in the past two years i lowered the seats only twice... so i said whatever ill take the one piece, but it was a little difficult in total to install, but then again its not impossible, and it was a great challenge, with great rewards...

on to the installed product. this was an incredibly noticeable difference! the car actually does get quieter in the rear, and the seats dont slam while hinged or closed and the trunk seems to stop rattling as well, ( i know what your saying how the hell is that possible, but trust me the ones who installed it know exactly what i am talking about... ) the car feels sooo great now, it feels like a firmer car, more responsive rear end, i mean i was just pulling out of my garage after installing it and from the side walk to the street i was already feeling that the back end was 100% more stiff and responding to the little angular differences in the road.. honestly its simply is impressive and incredible to have this bar on... i thought i loved driving my car before but now it gives me soo much more confidence in turn and even driving over bumps the car got even more enjoyable to drive.... it feels like before i installed the bar, that i was pulling a small trailer, and now it feels like driving a sports car! amazing, and the fact that nick and the team even came up with this product using the existing holes on top and only asking us to drill one hole was soo worth it to me, and great appreciated!!
my advise is to go out and get a slightly angular 19 mm wrench and cut it in half, and get a really good hole saw drill bit and it will make installing this soo much easier!

thanks again nick for these great innovations i great appreciate the time and effort you and the team puts in to keep these great parts coming!
