I remember when I first installed mine I felt a huge difference too. I'll never forget how the wheel used to try to spin through my hands coming out of a medium or high speed turn.
I just hand-tightened the nuts on mine.

Is the Freedom Design well built? Is it lasting? Better than the BTG?

Have not heard of any bar not "lasting" - do you mean rust? I have an aluminum pro-Felge bar, which I liked because it was straight between the towers, but I don't think you can do wrong with either BTG or Freedom Design.

All the available tower strut bars pretty much do the same thing equally, except for the early APC ones (it was just a thin mild steel rod that flexed too much and many had clearance problems that required some modifications. In other words, it was badly designed and really didn't do what it was supposed to do). If you prefer the design and looks of the BTG, it's up to you to make that purchasing decision. [8)] ![]()

I am trying to decide which bar to buy the Freedom or BTG for my GT. I understand that the Freedom only uses two of the three bolts on the shock tower and the BTG uses all three. Any truth?? Does it matter?? I also like the beefy look of the BTG!

I know your anxiety about snaping a stud, I did just that. I bought my bar used , so I had no instructions concerning torque. I cranked about 60 lbs and SNAP. I pulled out the strut and replaced the stud. talk about a pain in the tush! I have since found 25-30 lbs is correct.
