Tanabe Strut Tower Bar Install & Review [pics!]

Chris, how the hell was this easy? How were you able to get bolts in from bottom, especially the back bolts? I feel like the springs make it impossible? This kicked my ass for an hour and i failed. Also, how do you reach your hand to screw on nuts at top on the back bolts?....crazy tight! You're a ninja.

An extension helps keep the bolts in place and gives you more accuracey when trying to seat the bit to the bolt as it does get tight where the springs are. Patients and a few minutes of stretching before attempting go a long way for this install. No need for ninja skill unless you've given up on the install and you want to round house your yaris lol.

And yes performance gain is there but minimal, I think it would best be suited for a more serious suspension set up and will only start to perform when under serious cornering. More for looks for sure, as it looks sweet under there.
