Good photos of CP racing triangular strut brace?
 
I'm looking to get one, but the pic they show is crap. Maybe its my monitor, but the pic is too small.
Protegegarage has crappy pics of their products too. Not everything, but when the "enlarge image" is the same size as the thumbnail, Thats an issue. Descriptions suck too. Again, not everything, but if I wanted to get High compression pistons, the compression ratio would be nice to know without having to email someone who may or may not get back to you. Right?

I also wrote up a How-To on the installation.

Awsome Nate. My main concern was how it hooked up to the firewall. Those pics cleared that up pretty well. Thanks. That installation write up may come in handy.
Was there a significant difference from stock? Worth the $150. ??

Wow, that's a nice strut bar...

That's a really clean valve cover ...

It makes a big difference. I'm not sure if it's the bar alone or the fact that the bar compliments my coilovers so well, but the car definately tracks(wants to go straight) on the freeway much better than it did with the stock bar. Low speed turn-in is much more precise now also.

I think it's worth the 150 clams. Do you have a P5 or MSP? The reason I ask is because if you have a cruise-controlled P5, then you'll need a bracket to move the CC unit over a little bit. That was the biggest ordeal of my install, trying to figure out just how the bracket is supposed to be positioned.
I got my STB from Essential Speed, and they made the bracket for me. :)

Thanks for the tip. I got a P5 so I'll check up on that bracket. :bt:
