Cool, where did you get it? Also, let us know if you can feel a difference.

I got one installed at the same time as swift lowering springs (was bone stock before). It felt like a whole new driving experience, the steering is much more direct with less slop, the F sport was already good to start. Im getting a Toms rear strut tower and Ultra Racing front mid and rear subframe braces installed next Friday, looking forward to feeling the next step. I bought from the UR site and shipping from norcal to the LA area took about a week or less both times.

I think it fits pretty good, but hard to say how much it did since I went air at the same time.

Wasn't keeping track of this post so sorry for the delay. Same here. I did it at the same time i installed the rsr downs so can't tell what it really did. I'll tell you that both combined stiffened up the ride.

Is your AVS not connected anymore? I couldn't with the AirLift, but if you did just the springs, couldn't it still be connected?

I feel like the solidity of the UR bar is better than the hinged bars, like the megan bar.

Where did you get the carbon fiber looking cool air intake duct seal and engine room side cover from? I think that looks really nice.
