No write up on how to install, but..

I had my Hotchkis installed and it was a nice improvment for the car. I noticed a difference right away on tight right corners. The turn felt smoother, less roll. But it was the S curve which is where I really felt the difference.

The tC is awesome on an upgraded suspension.

There is my write up

I would do a write up for the DC sports bar, but I have no way of posting pics. sorry. All I can say is that taking the wipers off really helped me to get my torque wrench under the plastic. Also, There was a metal bracket directly above the nut on the driver side that I had to bend out of the way a little to get the nut off, PITA!!!!

skip, its not as easy as it seems. you need to jack up the front so the front wheels are off the ground so that the strut is at full rest. then you can unbolt the top strut nuts and put on the strut bar. its so that the strut bar will be connected to the struts more than it is to the chassis. it should get better reponse than doing it while the front wheels are on the ground.
