actually I'm thinking too much about the topic, you're the stubborn little teenager
when I make a modification to the car (I have a touring FD) I don't just slap something on there because everyone else is doing it, or for show
imo, street suspension is too soft and the tires don't grip well enough to see much of a benefit from a strut bar....I guess I wouldn't say there is absolutely no benefit, but I think it's negligible (unless you are running ultra stiff suspension and race compound tires on the street)
it's also amazing how one person will say it makes a HUGE difference and others will say it's barely noticeable, there are so many factors that go into this

Any other suggestions?

Rich is sending me a RH bracket w/o the slot. When I get it, I'll send him the slotted one I now have back, and maybe you (bajaman) can trade w/ him for a slotted one.
Thanks, again, Rich, for sorting this out. I really appreciate your help.
