99CLK320,
Its just not something up to the caliber of quality and longevity associated with a M

And you came up with this unbiased opinion how? by looking at some pictures. I always thought you were a pretty sharp guy Harry but you are losing credibility fast dude. I'm no expert but I think Paul's toys perform well. I have his intake and the rear bar and I'm looking forward to the front bar. What's next ashman?

Thanks Dlbern, But Its Not About Me.

The post was about a strut bar. The builder had invested his time and hard work on. Kudos. Never intended to bring down what he started. My statements were valid but not meant to be negative or maligning. I wish him and the buyers well. Its ideas like this that lift us all up.
Dlbern; Credit isn't what I do. Feel welcome to think whatever you want.

Has anyone else installed this? I'd like to hear some reviews about the time required. I know it will take me longer than the quoted times earlier b/c it'll be my first install. Thx!

Still waiting for mine. I got everything else in the mail this week just waiting for that. But I guess it also would not really be a fair assessment because I got in Front and Rear H&R Sway bars, Evo Pulley Kit +15HP, Front and Rear Kmacs to correct my alignment issues. So I will have that and his front strut installed all at the same time.

99CLK320,
installation

I have installed vip's intake and rear bar and both were simple and straight forward and perform as stated. I have the front bar ordered but have not received it yet but I anitcipate the same. If you look back through this thread there are pictures and instructions that detail the install. By the looks of it you may have to be a bit creative on where you put the throttle thingie. as people get the bars and get them put in I am sure we will hear more feedback. don't let the job intimidate you. Happy Holidays.

Yes, maybe if we put "debate continued here" on both forums, the dumb ones will get suckered into and endless loop of clicking back and forth from forum to forum! Maybe we'd loose the ridiculous comments.


Oh wait, my post just killed the endless loop. FAIL.
