I have CJ's bar, and its awsome. You can adjust the stiffness with the reversible threads on each side. I didnt notice a HUGE difference, but I did notice a decent amount. I have some suspension work done though (IPD sway bars and TME springs)

Wow, that looks hot. I wasn't too keen on the all blue look, but it worked out nicely.

I don't see any jam nuts in the photo. Did I not send them? LMK and I will send you a set.

I have a quick question... I have an OMP strut brace on my car. The way I installed it is..

got an alignment... went back to a flat spot and took all the nuts off and put it on and tightened it to the correct torque. i kept the wheels on the ground and had it on a flat surface.

a guy at my work, who drives an STI said that you are suppose to have the car on a lift or jack stands supporting the frame at the bottom to put the strut brace on. Is that correct? you have to have the car up on a lift / jack stands to put the brace on?

thats actually how i did my omp, not because i knew anything. i couldn't get it on without lifting it.

definitely firmer, little stiffer but i wouldn't say it's like a new car or anything. i'm pretty sure i have the orginal shocks, struts, springs etc on the car so......

supposidely with a new suspension set up its pretty noticeable.

ok, I will do that this weekend... I am assuming you just jacked up the front end and put the jack stands on the sub frame as if you were going to do your oil? or do I need to get it all up in the air with 4 jack stands?
