Default BTG Strut Bar Installed
I installed my BTG strut bar today. It was easy and took about 45 minutes to install. Took my GT out for a drive and loved the improved handling.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. Damn I'm "Mean Green" with envy. BTW, what intake is that?

The bar looks great, so you find you do notice a difference in handling?

Do you have sways or loweing springs.

I do notice a difference in handling. It's more precise and really gets into a turn. I do have Eibach springs. I don't have the "unneeded" rear sway bar according to what Chrysler says. Sways are on the agenda, but right now I'm saving for Stage 2. After Stage 2 comes the 2 1/2" catback exhaust and then the sways will come. Of course there's the booger bushings, the Hurst shifter, the etc, etc. Lucky my wife loves me so much, though she shakes her head and rolls her eyes

In back of the cone filter, near the fenderwell is a Greddy oil catch can with two hoses going back to the pcv and the manifold. In the 4 months I've had the catch can I have emptied 9 ounces of oil out of it that would have gone into my manifold. One of the best mods I've done to my GT. The small hose going down to the left of the battery is connected to my HSK BOV.
