Yet another happy Aussie bar customer - 02/16/02 12:34 AM
Installed the Aussie bar tonight with the help of Simon.
First off, we didn't have much trouble moving the tank out of the way, but the brackets were a different story. The bushings are quite a bit bigger than stock, which we knew, but even bending the bracket didn't help much. We had to expand the hole in the bracket in order to mount the bar. Not a big deal of course, just an FYI.
Took us about 2hrs from start to finish, including bending/reshaping/drilling the brackets and moving the gas tank. Having your car on ramps helps tremendously.
The end result - AWESOME.
Car is so much flatter right now, going into tight corners, the back end wants to come around a little, which is great. The front end doesn't plow NEARLY as much as it did, and over all, handling is very neutral. This bar is a MUST for any auto-xer.
Overall, I'm very happy. Awesome product, if you don't have it, buy it!
