INSTALL
The bar is supposed to be bolted on with the provided nutzerts, but I didn't use them. I had some problems drilling the nutzert holes into the strut towers, so I went to my local hardware store and bought a handful of new metric hardware. I sized the bolts so that they fit snugly inside the bar mounting holes. I inserted the bolts from inside the fender area with the threaded end pointed up. That made it easier to tighten the nuts down. Because of where the bar mounts and the fact that I used my own hardware, this piece took longer to install than I had expected. Measure twice and drill once when fitting up your Eurosport front upper strut bar.

PERFORMANCE
The car feels a little tighter when cornering, but its not as noticeable as I would have liked. I'm sure the car's suspenion geometery is tighter than before, but I can't say exactly how much without a skidpad and a G-force meter.

NOTES
Thanks go out to Nate at NGP for helping me make the right choice for strut bars.
