:crazy: I bought a Megan strut on ebay. (The one that twists like a turnbuckle for adjusting). Installation was easy even though no instrutions were included. My questions are:
What or how much adjustment should I do? Do I open it or close it and how much?
What is the orientation of the bar when adjusted? (vertical of Horizontial) Makes a difference, vertical is stiffer and horizontial flex's up and down.

Anybody out there have one too and how is it adjusted..

BTW, I wrote a email to the vendor and Megan Racing and neither bothered to answer.

I just twisted mine as tight as I could get it and have it level out. It shouldn't make a difference structurally, the force is not an up/down thing, it is pulling the towers together and keeping them from leaning independently. Of course, because the towers are so close to the firewall, it probably doesn't have as much effect as on some cars, but it looks good and helps some, so where's the harm?
