Default rear upper strut installed

Hey guys, my rear upper strut came in the mail. Got to love ebay $22 bucks. Put it in yesterday and damn it was somewhat of a bitch to put it in. Bolts kinda frozen so had to use some good old elbow grease to take them off. after installing it I didn't notice a big difference driving around the city much but on strong turns, I felt the change in my rear end. There is a small strip of turns by my house where I take my car on to see what has happened after each install. These turns are not made for people who are scared. I just love seeing how fast I can cut through them and it is only one way so I don't have to worry about on-coming traffic or putting other people in danger. The front upper made a big difference, the rear lower made no difference to me but the rear upper made a difference also. But having all three does help a lot and I am not even lowered yet. So hey, $22 bucks can go a long way. I recommend it. Thanks for listening guys.:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wait until you get springs, shocks, sways, and some sticky rubber. That will be a whole new world of handling for you.

first: no problem.
second: if this isn't cool enough, I'll work on it.

two of the three isn't bad.

Does anybody make a rear strut bar for the 6th gen? I doubt it because of the way the struts are installed. I'll just have to deal with my c-pillar bar.
