agreed ... i was expecting this feather-weight unit and was
kinda surprised. my guess is that FHI found cyclic failure
cracks in the planned aluminum prototypes and had to switch to steel
at the last minute. well engineered aluminum bars usually
have a degree of freedom where they bolt to the strut tops
to allow some movement (rotation).

whatever ... it was just an impulse buy on my part. not really
expecting any noticable difference.

Steel? Well I guess it should be strong. I would still love to see some close-up pics of the bar on a 05 STi to see for myself how straight the A/C lines are. Anyone?

i just got mine today. instalation is just plug and play, at least for the 07 models. i looked in the instructions and there was some extra stuff to do for 05 and older(like relocating the horn or something like that). on 07 all you have to do is remove the bracket that holds the A/C line, remove the 6 nuts(12mm) from the strut tops, put the bar, put back the 6 nuts, attach the A/C line to the strut bar. the bar doesn't tuch anything(no A/C line, no I/C)

[FlyinbySTi]

Yeah, if there is anyone out there with the 05' post a pic.

Wow this bar might be worth it for the AC Line bracket alone. (Over other bars that is)

[alphaSTI]

Yeah I like how they made the bracket on the bar to bolt the AC line onto.
