[DML] Re: Front Strut Bar Question

["turbodelorean" <dmcfan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Thank you for your honest input. I am glad that you tried it instead 
of staying skeptical. In all honesty and I expalined this before, 
when I made my prototype I wasn't sure what to expect. All I knew 
was there was the gap between both strut towers and no significant 
weight up front (engine) and with the way the front of the 
car "floats" in cornering I thought hmmm maybe there is a lot of 
unwanted flexing up front. 

I made my first bar and thought if it worked great and if it didn't 
well atleast I tried. I ended up noticing a very good improvement 
and decided to make a bar that would be better for market. I still 
wasn't sure what people might think but with every sale came a very 
happy customer and here we are today.
