IMHO the front strut bar is more "show" than "go". People will say different, but with our strut towers being so close to the firewall, there isn't as much flex in a Contique as there is in some other cars. The rear is another story.

Just bolt it up front....and get a HPP rear and you won't have to weld or bolt it smile
