Great item from GS! FAST shipping! Installed in about 2 hours with basic hand tools and with basic jack/jackstands. (Would've been less, but I work slow.)

BIG reduction in body roll on my bone stock '04 Arc! You can see the lateral improvement just by jacking up one of the front wheels, the other will lift up too!

As far as the other reviewers saying they needed a mechanic to install it - mine was easy, unless I did something wrong. The rivets/studs (whatever you call them) installed easily after a VERY simple expansion of the holes with a 1/2" drill bit - drilling the holes took about 10 seconds, if that. (I used a Craftsman standard length 1/2" breaker bar and had no problems, just put a little antiseize on the tool bolt and was all set.)

When you first hold up the brace underneath it might look like it doesn't fit, don't worry, just a little wiggle and LIGHT pulling with one hand and all the bolts went right in.

The bad - does add a slight bit of vibration and I don't really like how it presses against the turbo piping, but it doesn't press hard enough to make me uncomfortable, plenty of clearance from the downpipe on my car.

More of the bad - no free advertising sticker or shirt, BOO!!!

Can't wait to get the strut tower brace!

BTW - it's silver, not black (like in the installed pics on GS.)
