I received my Ractive strut bars (front & rear) last week. The rear went on fine in only a couple of minutes and I can feel a definate improvement in the way the rear end tracks through corners. The front bar, on the other hand, doesn't even come close to fitting. It is a good 1/2" too low and won't clear the motor. For the price, it isn't worth it to send the bar back, so I'll probably end up finding someone to cut and reweld the bracket a little higher so long as still tucks under the hood (looks like it will). I don't think 4cyl would have this clearance problem, but I am formally warning all V6 owners to stay away from the Ractive front strut bar.
