Well I finaly got to install the bars from Flip and the brackets from Don. and I have to say that the install was as easy as pie. I have heard some people say that they didn't see much of a difference, some say just the rear bar installed was better, and some have said they saw much improvement, I haappen to agree with the much improvement crowd. Where I live all the roads are up hill and down hill and very twisty for the most part and I noticed a BIG difference the car seems to plant itself better in the corners, as well as the added stifness. All in all well worth the investment, I decided to paint the bars bright red and clear coat the brackets, makes them stand out more Image Image Image Image Image

lol I know, but it was more of a pain to remove and install the KYB struts in the rear for me.

I agree with the "much improvement" crowd. I installed mine last week and have been loving them ever since. I drive through the Adirondacks ALOT and I can see and feel the car being more planted in corners. Oh and ya, the rears are a PITA to install. lol

I agree, big difference in handling once I installed the STB bars with Don's brackets. And installing the GMPP RTAs made an even bigger difference. Corners, turns are no match anymore. They look nice by the way.

Looks great, I plan on picking up a set of those sooner or later. Especially the rear one to try and balance our fat asses.
