You will feel a nice change in the front end when it is installed. The front will feel much more solid, and responsive during hard cornering.

Its not just for looks........ even if thats why you bought it

Nice, the only thing I don't like about the stock bar is how heavy it is!

Since your car is red, it should look nice in your car. I bought a OEM black bar (non adjustable 96) because I didn't want a red bar in my white car. My priority was improving handling. Looks were secondary, but still a consideration. I don't really like the way the red bars look in non-red cars, but thats just me.

i hope when i get it its not all chipped up. from the pics it looked like it was in good condition. If it is indeed in good condition i might just keep it red.
