My sicka$$ front strut bar
So many of you know I was one of the first to get VIP320 rear strut bar (completely loved what it did for my car) and even told him to hold the first front strut bar he makes for me. When i saw the pictures of it, I became a little skeptical. However, knowing the work Ash put into the rear and everything else he does i decided to get the front one for myself and decide if it works and if I like the way it makes the car handle! All i have to say at this point is WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING NOT GETTING IT EARLIER!!!!!1
This completely changed the front end handling of the car, it seems a lot tighter up front.
Install was a breeze and took me maybe an hour at most!
After which i decided to hit up my old testing grounds (stunt road) in the back hills of mulholland hwy.
All in all i can really feel the difference in the cars handling. If you havent gotten one or are on the fence I would totally recomand that you get this!
I would even get this one before buying the rear!
I will post pictures later tonight!

DAMN THAT AWESOME!! I just read the whole discussion (bashing actually) on Benzworld by Gary??Tahoe??
I believed it when Williams said he loved his and its good to hear about another buyer being happy about the purchase as well. I hope he VIPCLK320 keeps making bad *** parts for us and doesnt get discouraged by some of the unecessary bashing that has occurred.

2nd + Tour + Car will be safe = IRAQ
I made CTO 6 months ago trying to make CIO this month..wish me luck.
Just got my car out the shop, something called a crank sensor went bad and my car died on the road right after picking up a booty call. Guessing it was karma seeing my GF was at home waiting for me to return.
Well was out testing the Strut again it is off the chain. Can't wait to see pictures so I can compare how others are installing theirs.

Ok guys the bar hsa been tested on the 320, 430 and 55 and they all fit with no problems and with the new bar there is no need for relocating the throttle sensor. there are 2 rear ones left and 5 front ones left, once these are gone that's it, I will not be taking any orders after these are gone, so if you want one, supplies are very limited and this is the end of the road for these bars I will NOT make any more of them because they are just not cost effective for me to make.

Hey VIP, thanks a lot for taking the time and effort to make these bars. Have already installed them on my CLK230 Kompressor. No issues with the install! And they make handling that much sweeter.

99CLK320,
Electrical box
I got my bar on Monday but it has been to freakin' cold to work outside. I am impressed with the new design and the different spacer. Good work Ash!! Question: What did y'all do with the electrical box that had to be moved for the mounting point on the drivers side? Just left it waiving in the wind?
