Just one thing on the STB's. Remember the hood has cooling ducts on the underside to keep that turbo cool. Some of the braces out there do a good job of blocking the airflow. I purchased one from Mod Perf. That is a single solid bar that does not block flow too much. Some people will argue you need a stiffer bar set up, but it's a light car and some improvement is better than none. Just an FYI

RE: Strut Tower Bar
It's doing real well, I put in on first and got the rear one later and just the MP/X up front made a nice and very noticeable difference. The rear STB enhanced the stiffness even more. You will be happier with your STB.
Dusty, the torque for all of the strut mounting bolts, both front and rear, is 300 in-lbs according to the factory service manual.

RE: Strut Tower Bar
Thanks, RR!! I've got the SRT-4 manual on CD but couldn't find it. Between your help and Roach's, I've got one less thing to wonder/worry about.....[sm=smiley20.gif]
