The adjustable part is cool, cuz even if you have no freakin clue, you can always give Ray a call since he knows them so well and say "hey Ray, my car is doing.......how can I make it do.....instead" and he'll know. Correction, I NEVER did ANY racing in my Evo, it's a friend's silver STi.

you can use that but there's not much adjustibility with it. not much at all. camber plates are the only way to go if you are lowered. when you lower a car it should instanly give you negative camber. problem being is the stock adjuster can't compensate enough to give you less -camber. the rear eccentric has a good amount of adjustibility. it's just the front that sucks.

well i did learn from my tech that's been doing it for 20 years. 
i just know where i like it set. just let me know when you want it done and i will set up a time with the shop and tell my tech where to set things at but you need to tell me what you want the car to do. whether you want better tire wear or maybe you want less understeer. things of that nature. btw, our shop rates aren't the cheapest but i'll take care of you the best i can. we cater mostly to porsche, mercedes, and bmw customers.

I AM VERY HAPPY!!!
Okay i recommend to everyone that is getting a rear strut brace that don't wanna spend a lot to get this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...946546219&rd=1
i was a skeptic but i figured what the heck, it's only 25 bux. i had the cusco bar last year and let me tell you it's not much different if different at all. quality and design are just about the same. it feels very solid (i'm sure there are more solid ones out there) and should work just fine. my intentions on it at first were to just use the mounting brackets and make my own bar but the center bar seems to be very rigid so i'm not gonna mess with it.
i usually don't like buying noname parts but a part like this who cares as long as it's strong enough. anything there imo is better than air.
btw, this is the only ebay strut bar i recommend. the other ones others sell on ebay have a different mounting bracket that looks like they would flex more over this one. the brackets on these looks very similar to the cusco one and that's why i opted for it.
oh and btw i haven't installed it yet. just got it off ups. so i can't tell you how well the brackets line up but on the cusco ones i had to modify to make them fit.
