Jesse, I have that very one. Why don't you hold off on buying it. With my next mod, I'm not sure yet if it will still fit, after the mod. It might fit on a chally, I'm not sure. Anyway if your not in a hurry, just wait and see.

its a nice piece. im not a fan of any bar that re-uses the shitty stock brace in its construction tho.

razors edge or stack performance braces are the way to go.

there is the california classics billet brace also. it is more of a show piece since billet aluminum can flex some. people use the techco brace too. but as far as i know they went out of business and that brace drills into the crap stock brace too.

stack performance and razors edge braces are the only ones that replace the stock brace and are a 4 point brace. the main difference between them is

razors edge =
-can use the stock strut covers if you notch them
-comes in black powder coat

stack performance =
-can not use the strut covers because they have a built in vertical tube construction over the strut center
-comes in 2 colors, black and red are the normal colors i think but others are available.

both companys make a great product but razors edge can be hard to deal with sometimes. best bet is to buy it through a 3rd party vendor like HHP. i have the razors edge brace and stack chubby sway bars. both products are great and i was real impressed with the quality of Stack Performance's sway bars. the welds and powdercoat looked top notch. i would think their brace would be made with the same quality.

its simple. take the stock brace out, pull the wiper motor off the stock brace, un bolt the computer under the wiper cowl, and take the nuts off the towers then slide it on. re attach everything.

some times you have to grind the washers down a bit when you re-use the stock bolts. we put mine on in like 20 minutes at dartboys last year.

I have the techco brace and have had no problems with it. They are still in biz as far as I know.

But like Jon says, looking back on it, not utilizing the existing "shitty" bar is probably the way to go if you're looking for the best performance.
