Hi,even though it handled great before seems to be just that bit tighter now,it was a bastard to fit,just trying to hold the head of the bolt when it was getting tightened up was a act because there isn't much room even with the struts dropped down,anyway where i live we have one way in and and one way out which is the wainui hill road that really puts a cars supension and tyres to the test,i'll put a picture up later you'll see what i mean,cheers

update on this strut bar i just fitted its been a real bitch,when i put it on yesterday i noticed that it actually was touching the bonnet making it not sit right when closed!!,so got out there this morning and bent it a bit straighter then it was touching the master cylinder so had to grind some material away to clear and not to mention sqwashing the windscreen washers hoses so they weren't working,so much for bolt on part,seems to me whiteline stuffed up on this one,its a real heavy duty bar thicker than a VY clubby strut bar but wished i'd just got a second hand VY strut bar now would be of been a peice of cake to fit compared,but looks mint now and handles awesome

Hell!! i see what you mean about being close to the mastercylinder. Not really a fan of Whiteline products,but that's just me.

I have a Pedders (rebadged whiteline) strut bar fitted to mine, it just clears the master cylinder and it rubs on the under felt on the bottom of the bonnet. Apart from that no issues. It's worth it though, made the steering more direct.
