Chris, I just ordered the polished rear strut tower bar from your site. Any idea when it'll ship out?  -neal

I got the rear STB installed, It definitely makes the car feel sturdier. I ended up painting the bar toreador red. Very happy with the whole product! Another high quality product from Hightower Performance!!

since there is no drilling or tapping how does it stay in place...do you just turn the bolt as tight as possible and it holds itself in place??

You cut a small hole in your felt, then, the top of the bracket lines up with the metal seam. You give the wrench about 3/4 turn after it's hand tight. If you look on the page, you'll see some blue stuff around the bracket. That is permanent marker. The bar has not moved after being thrashed about for many weeks.

Yes, because the strut tower has a conical shape half way up tapering into a cylidrical shape, the tower squeezes into place and it doesn't budge. Super easy to put in and take out. Excellent design.

Looks like a cool design! If I did not buy a 10$ piece of iron and some welding rods, i'd be all over that thing...

Very nice!

I'll chime in as another customer who already has the bar. I haven't installed it yet but the build/finish of this bar is excellent!! Don't let the pics of the polished bar fool, it got fingerprinted during the install. The bar is much much shinier, I would almost think it was chrome plated if I didn't know any better. Edit: Another plus, the bar(entire assy.)weighs in at less than five pounds. Gotta love Aluminum.
