Got my DC Sports strut bar yesterday thanks to Kenji Garage. Be sure to hit him up because his prices are unbeatable in SoCal.
Did my install this morning and it didn’t take much time. The fit is super tight though, so my rubber mallet was needed to get it in. Looks beautiful in the engine bay.
I decided to give it a true test and took my car out to the 330 towards Big Bear Lake, CA. Twisty doesn’t even begin to describe these roads, so any handling improvements would be obvious from the start. Any failure would also mean my death lol. My car felt phenomenal, absolutely “on rails” handling, which is exactly what I was going for. I had the biggest smile on my face.
For now, I’m very happy with my chassis set up. Even coming downhill it was great. Shockingly the stock brakes with +20k miles of wear did fantastic too. I fully expected some fade, but nope.
Next up I’ll be tackling the resonator swap. I’m trying to find something to remove the drone and enhance the deep tone of my car without sounding like a fart can.
