[QUOTE="notchstang92, post: 16818575, member: 12153"] They are. I bought one last month. Here's my thoughts on it. Directions are poor. They say to tighten some of the bolts before you finish drilling. Don't do that because after you have all the holes you need to make sure your hardware will fit each hold properly and you may need to adjust each bracket. If you have a convertible good luck drilling the hole on the interior side of the shock tower which they conveniently leave out of the directions, they never even mention it. The bar is nice because it is adjustable and also easily removeable if you ever needed to. The 2 brackets are labeled so you don't put them on the wrong side. The only way I can see to reach the hold on the interior side of the shock tower is to use a right angle drill with a right angle attachment and the shortest 5/16" bit you can find. I got one hole made and the other one broke 2 bits and kept jamming. Overall would I buy it again? No, not if it was going in a convertible. A hardtop may be offer more room for drilling though. I think you could find a chassis shop that had some extra tubing and sheetmetal lying around from a job they did and have them weld that in for you. Basically recreate the Hans Racecraft brace. I had one of those and it fit perfect. They aren't in business anymore or I would have got it again. [/QUOTE]
