I decided to go with the Suspension Techniques kit and received it yesterday, began installing it today. The rear bar went in no problem, direct fit. The front on the other hand, has me confused and frustrated beyond my limit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puzzled.gif) I can't figure out if they sent me the wrong one, or if there is a conversion/fabrication that I need to do. The bar that I got is a lot different from the stock one that was on my car and came with the end link kits while my stock one uses the ball joint links. I really need help figuring this one out! I am also going to email ST to see what they say. I am including pics to help you guys help me. Thanks!!!!!!

Who did you order from? Horsepower Freaks. I figured it was the wrong one all together, so I emailed ST and asked them what part number I need.

Yea, once you find that out, call (You could email too, but I would call to ensure you get through in a timely manner) HPFcom and let them know what's up. HPF is a decent company, so you should have any problems making an exchange.

Where have I seen a front bar that looked exactly like that before... OH YEAH! When I was under my evo this passed weekend! They probably keep them right next to each other and grabbed the wrong one.

Thanks! I'll email them again with that and see if they'll actually respond to this email. This might simplify things a little. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/liebe011.gif)
