[QUOTE="Construct, post: 13472357, member: 140315"] Tower bars aren't much use on our cars, without some major non reversible work, the lack of mount bolts on the top of the towers means there is no way to mount them properly, some people have bought them and put them on with small sheet metal bolts, and where they look good all your doing is putting holes in a structural part of the chassis, and there's no way those little bolts can actually make the chassis ridged in hard cornering, the second option is to weld the mounts to the strut towers, this would make the bar functional, but Is absolutely irreversible, and can actually weaken the towers if not done properly, As for the rear, same story, there was the cougar rear bar setup from the uk that was a nice piece of engineering however this was a full rear brace system not just a tower to tower bar. I have a FSTB I've had for year that I've never installed cause I don't see any reason. I don't think it'll be going on the car any time soon [/QUOTE]
