Here we are testing a Strut Tower Bar for the 2011 Subaru WRX. Everything fit great up until we tried closing the hood. There is a duct that hits the hood so rotating the angle of the tower bar back was an easy remedy. Take a look at the pictures. 

This is where the IC duct hits the bar

And a quick rotation of the bar and it fits great!

First up to bat is the 2012 Toyota Yaris! Here are some pictures of the front underbrace we tested, this part fits great and will will with strengthening the chassis! 

And we also tested a strut tower bar for the Yaris and this bar also fit great! This bar will help reduce flex in the upper chassis around the strut towers! The nice thing about our tower bars is that you can adjust the preload!

And here are the Swaybar pictures! The front subframe needed to be dropped to install this but this is a great way of reducing body roll with having a minimal effect on the ride quality.
