but I already ordered the bar thinking that it would do what the brace is suppose to do and yea....

So I assume that I need the brace rather than the bar correct? Ill prolly just return the bar once it gets here if there isnt a point to it.....

Ive heard that having all is good though? As in they all have different purposes?

Well i mean look at the location of the brace and the bar, its the same place lol. At least thats what ive heard.

And I feel like you might run into trouble by not running the ASR sway with the brace..

but they charge a 25% restocking fee So i think Ill just rock it and see what she can do lol - It cant hurt having another brace under there can it? haha

Now that ive spent almost 600 bucks, i need to think about what to do to the front? any recommendations?

DO NOT buy a lower tie bar for the front if your car is lowered, it hangs down.
Strut tower bar is all ive got ontop of the coilovers. Maybe a camber kit if you so desire?

Isn't the stock tower bar ok?

and yea I only have about 2.5 inches of clearance so that would be a bad idea lol and I already have a camber kit SO there isnt really anything I can do is there?

Well the stock bar is.. just a bar lol. Looking into a STRUT TOWER bar would be good, notice they connect the struts vs. just spanning across the bay which makes a good difference in rigidity.
Other than that not really, you sound like you have a good setup as is. move to a different department haha

Ill look into them and see what alll I can find out....

and yea lol, I think after this suspension will be done minus some front bushings - what to do next? thats always the question!

Hit up the exterior!
Or do something on the inside, door inserts, wheel/quick release, seats, harnesses, short shifter, clutch, gauges, etc.

I guess I could look into fixing the rust that is starting to form - its about the size of a valve stem cover, its just starting to bubble the paint up....

OR

I could say no and save money lol, BUT i dont see that happening :lol:

Well I got my order canceled on the tie bar which means that I can use that money for my alignment

Looks like I have decided to raise my car back to its former glory! So instead of tucking a little tire, I will have about a finger wheel gap :(

Will post pix of my setup once its complete
