Thanks to The New Climax for picking these up for me at Southpoint to bring to our SC install we did. I installed them on my car. I now see why they removed them from the 2001s. There is the AC (CAN looking thing, forgot the name) that they relocated from the driverside to in front of the condenser on the passengerside. It is located right in the way where the beam goes but not so much out of the way that it makes it impossible to fit. Basically the install went well. Removed the bolts on the lower mounts that it connects too on both sides, connected those first. Driverside was easy, no modications, but the passengerside I had to get it around that canister. I got some washers, about 4 I think put them on that long bolt so it would push that beam out more when tightend. Well it worked. I was able to tighten it down with it slightly against the canister but not smashing it, just touching it.

Handling, response difference is very very hard to tell. To what I can tell, the car still leans but gets to a point where it stops and doesn't lean near as much as it use too. Seems just a little more responsive, but this is very hard to tell. I think its a recommened add on for just 30 bucks total.

Now I just need to get my fuel line cover shield...since my tank when I filled it up, had tons of dirt inside...uggg.

I do have some detail pics I will post late tonight...
