Duralumin Strut Bars
I was planning on ordering these strut bars this week from SR and just wanted some input on how well the work and what you guys think of them. Also, are they difficult to install?

Hi Guy's, These bars are really easy to install. I have the front SR brace and have ordered the rear one to also.
The rear needs a little bit of work as it sits behind the rear seats. you need to cut a small hole at each side of the rear cabin interior to accomodate the bar.
go to http://www.speedstate.com/hyundai_section/
as they have a full install guide which has pics.

I've had both SR bars for several months. They'er the best upgrade per dollar you can put on you car. Except maybe a "Random" CAI wink.gif http://yellowshark.homestead.com/Pics.html

The hardest part was remounting the little bracket on the front drivers side. I bent it a little and mounted in the same location on top of the strut bar mount (looks good)
And I was a little nervous cutting the interior (had second thoughts) but did it anyway and don't regret it for 1sec.
took less than an hour to install and I have never done it before.

YELLOW SHARK...Your engine bay looks so fesh and so clean, clean. I was wanting to get the Hose Techniques in spec. white. How much did it cost? I'm guessing it wasn't difficult to install. So far I have the spark plug cover, timing belt cover, and caps painted. I also have a Dragon filter from Weapon-R with a custom cold air feeder. Add a SR strut bar, custom heat shield for the intake and the hoses, and I'll be looking fresh and clean, too.
As far as the strut bars go, I'm getting them very soon. Took a ride in TK1's '97 Tib with H&R SPrings and front & rear SR strut bars. I couldn't believe how much better it handled, even on almost blown stock struts!
