It doesn't tell you whether it fits or not because he doesn't have it.

(And you didn't ask if it fit, you asked if that person had fitted it.)

Once you get it in the mail. Install the side things first then adjust the bar. I thought the rear upper strut bar didnt fit my car until I did that. But please, definitely write up a parts review. By the way, how much did you spend on the bar??

I got it on ebay from makotautoparts and it cost me $39 shipped.
So a search on ebay now, there are some on right now, cant go wrong, i saved like $15 instead of getting it from procarparts.

Fixed the double post. Too bad Joe's joke will go unappreciated now.

Quick question about procarparts.com though....

The bar doesn't actually fit quite right. But a simple modification and it'll fit. Let me know if you plan on buying it and then I can make you the adapters to make it fit. I'll post pictures of the adapters and full setup when I get a chance soon here. I discovered that the several times in and out my strut towers and my being lazy and stupid and using the impact gun all the time managed to strip one of my bolts, so I have to figure out a way around that. But anyway...

Procarparts had good customer service when I dealt with them, they shipped things usually within about 5 days. So overall I was happy with the, and the fact that the bar was a lot cheaper than any of the others was a bonus. I'd recommend getting your bar from makoto though as i discovered that procarparts charges like 17 bucks shipping.. which kinda sucks.

If you want the adapters that I'm going to make or whatever else.. just pm me. (probably 7-10 bucks plus shipping for a set depending on how hard it is to get the steel and the machining time)

Later.

Steve
