Si98 yeah it does make a difference - the lower bar should be preloaded correctly. for the jack, I got the 3.5 ton jack and jack stands from Price Club for $100. Cheap, HUGE, and very sturdy.

Mashimaro, this thread is close to 2 years old... I'm certain Charles has a good jack and stands by now.... he's also got a real hot setup under his car in terms of susp.

As for me, this is mine... 22 mm ITR + Beaks + Tanabe lower brace

lol, i didn't even notice that this thread was so old! i just replied when i saw it! hahhaa

anyways, very nice setup you got there bbarbulo. how much did the beaks kit run you and what kind of tie bar is that? any subframe problems at all?

no subframe problems but I don't really drive that car, and I still wanna upgrade to an A-Spec racing subframe brace. The Beaks was cheap.... I don't remember, but I got it from their website. The lower tie bar is a SUSTEC/Tanabe Racing Development peice.

i wonder if that "student" who installed my bar and struts at altech will ever get his license...sigh!

i got 2 pairs of michelin 2-tonne jackstand because they were on sale at canadian tire for cheap. no more hiring bimbo grease monkies that charge $70/hr for me anymore !!!!

^^ good move buddy. did you get the aluminium Michelin jack too? I totally want one of those for ease of handling.... mine weighs in excess of 100 lbs *sigh*

Si98

those aluminum ones are so nice but unfortunately my budget only allowed me to get a normal 2.5 tonne.
