MAn! what a pain in the a**! they are too tall so I had to take out my strut tower brace, and they don't fit! I had to cut the bolts, expensive junk!

Damn I just bought a pair. Which ones did you get? I kind of wondered about them when I opened the box and they were packaged in news paper. Has any one else had problems with them?

Mine are fine, did have to use shorter bolts and flip the bolts to clear, no biggie though.

Which bolts?

The 4 that sandwitch the center section, I think I only had to do it on the drivers side, for clearance at the K-member or something, can't remember without looking.

I agree...don't use them...when you spend a good amount of money on a product, you should be able to use it right away...it's easier just to go Energy and use them right away....

yeah they hella suck, and I had to spend $125 to get the h-pipe refitted, but at least the header dosen't hit the steering arm anymore

anybody know if I can lower the motor any other way? cause the car feels weird without the strut tower brace
