yes...you have to trim the..ah..trim, but you don't have to cut any metal. compared to the grinding required to fit the front bar from the 4g mirage, its cake.

Just for clarification Hondahunter; are you running a lowered suspension yet? I only mention this as it will have some bearing on whether those who are not yet lowered may think.
*disclaimer*
I realise that any modification that gives the driver a more consistent feedback is better but maybe if people don't have wide rear tires and are using the soft stock suspension, such as myself currently, this may and I stress may, not be for them just by itself. A total handling package complete from tires, suspension and stiffening bars are preferable. This is not to take away from HondaHunters review, I just hope that for the people who are unsure about the whole suspension tuning thing, this should a nice addition when used in conjuction with a proper system of approach.

Hondahunter,
Could you list the mods to your ride? ...like tires/wheels, suspension (including drop height, other stress bars, urethane mounts), engine, and any other little do dads you've added or that came different from stock baseline C52 chassis setups. I hope that this will give the others a chance to see just where your part comes into play.

Thought you were a little further ahead on this new car, I remember your post with the drop coils. Well I guess we'll have another review when they see the light of day as well! :wink:
