i figured it out...ughh.....its more of a pain in the ass then i thought....how does this thing even do anything...you gotta jack the car up...take the front wheel off...stick your hand under the wheel wall area put the damn screw in then pray to god it doesnt fall off while you grab a wrench..

Let us know how it turns out

I figured that design mounted to the top of the strut ?

does it mount to the top of the strut?

Is that a front upper or lower?

suppose to be the front upper...

I have never seen the upper one designed with only one mount point before... I have a tanabe and it uses both the holes in the towers...

yeah...this one only seems to be fitted into one of the holes? lol...so strange i was expecting something so much more different..

Yep, this is how my 3 point mounted on my Z28.

^^^ Right Chris, your old piece utilized all the mounting holes on the tower, most do, my civic used them all, my accord, my 240sx, and my xD...


Eddie, have you test fitted it yet? do the holes line up?

the ultra racing only bolts to 1 hole... but in reality the bar is kinda pointless as the front strut towers are built into the firewell so its already pretty stiff.. however it is a very nice looking piece... : )

yeah i got the stupid thing in..total waste of money..i really dont think it does anything..i dont see how this thing makes a difference...now its just gonna be more annoying when i need to change my battery in my car because its so damn close to the bar.

I noticed a considerable difference in handling when I installed the Tanabe front upper. Can we get pics of the ultra installed?

i think alot of that is the placebo effect your mind is thinking that there is a difference.... haha but best suspension piece to buy would be the rear sway bar that you will see a huge difference from stock
