So I just got done installing the corksport front strut bar. I also ordered the Ractive rear strut bar, it was only $36 so i gave it a try. The Corksport fit really nicely and I can feel a difference. There is less body roll, not an extreme amount, but its less than was before. Car feels alot tighter when taking fast turns.

The ractive bar, what a piece of crap. It took me atleast 20 minutes just to try and get the bracket thing to bolt up to the top bolts. After that, The bar didnt even fit right. It needs bends like the front one. I think im gonna use my friends bender and make it fit until I can get the corksport rear one. That would prolly make the bar weaker but im gonna try it anyways. I definately would NOT recommend this to anyone. The bracket has 3 holes drilled in it, when there is only 2 bolts from the strut. What a piece. Oh well, get what u pay for. Now time for the alignment, light rims, stick tires, and sway bars.

 

When did you order the front bar from CS? Just curious. Last time I tried I was told they where outta stock.

Thanks,

funny thing about ractive bar, i ordered a rear bar and it had three holes drilled, but UPS banged the crap outta it and i returned it, the one i got only had two holes drilled and fit perfectly? wierd.

 

the bar with 3 holes is for the 2nd gen protege's
