Neuspeed strut bar

Hey guys, I just got this put it about an hour ago. I bought it used off ebay. It had some rust spots (guy lived in canada) and was the polished version. I sanded it, primered it, and painted it flat black and I think it turned out pretty good. I am very happy with this upgrade! Car handles a lot nicer through curves and it eliminated my 70mph wheel shake! If you dont have one I would advise getting one. You can also see the header I put on about two weeks back in these pics. The guy I bought it from painted it before he sold it to me so thats why it is grey. I want to get some exhaust wrap for it cuz it looks a little weird how it is.

Nice strut bar, but are your grounding wires coming from the positive terminal?

The ground wires are not coming off positive, that is an amp wire. And for install tips I just put some pb blaster on the bolts before I even tried just to be safe. Then I put the left side on first and the right side took a little coaxing. Oh and the resivour that you have to move, I just bent the bottom piece of the bracket so I could tilt it slightly out of the way then tightened it back up.

Do you have any other things done to your car? I felt a difference, the steering even feels more stable while driving straight.

with the bar do you feel a little bit of a over steer or mis adjusted alignment type of steering?

I dont really know what you mean by mis adjusted alignment? To me it just feels stiffer, not as much flex when you take a turn, which makes the car feel more sure footed. Oh and on a side note I got my rsx-s sway bar in today!!! I have that and my lower tie bar to put on so it'll be maybe a week before I have pics of both but I'm excited.

looks like the USDM one. Im talking about if you keep the steering wheel straight does it go in any other direction when u acclerate. Because i think a couple guys on here experienced that.
