Just ordered. . .

I just ordered my Jason Smith (yeahididit2) strut tower and rear sway bars. I know some guys here have them already. How do you all like them? I look forward to getting them. I am pretty sure installation will be fairly easy, but I'd figure I'd ask for any tips you guys may have.

I got mine and they are pretty awesome. I used to get some squelling when cornering at high speeds, but not anymore. You can definately freek yourself if you aren't careful. I got mine is silver, but painted them blue. Good luck, and enjoy. Oh yeah, the front strut tower took like ten minutes. The friggin' rear sway bar was a bitch because the car is so low. If you can raise it up, do so. If not, you will be swearing like a trucker trying to get that nut and bolt together underneath.

I have a 2 ton floor jack so I'm sure that will help. What kind of paint did you use?

Just spray paint it yourself, it looks just as good as PC and its super cheap. I did mine with Dupli-Color Metalcast paint, using their Ground Coat, then the Main Color (Chrome Smoke), then lastly Hi-Temp Engine Enamel Clear Coat The color I used makes the strut tower bar look gunmetal with alittle metallic in it. Just check out the pics of the finished product
