install went well! my box didn't have assembly instructions, so had to figure it out....pieces to a puzzle! the small plastic swivel bushing at the bottom end of the shifter was a hair larger than the shift rod hole, so i sanded it down a little and finally got it to fit....shouldn't be a prob. greased it all up prior to install. like DSC said, boot was tight (put boot on AFTER shifter is installed <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> argh), but silicon spray helped it slip on quite easily. for the cheap price i'd say well worth it! longetivity is only concern. sorry no feedback on actual driving cuz car is up on jackstands!
if ur ONLY installing front bar, i'd get cheaper Pilot or OBX....theyll work fine. but both their rear bars fit only S13. so if you r gonna do rear later and u want em to match, upgrade to JDM bars. i've got Cusco's coming for my car (as usual theyre LATE <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> !). remember.... rear bar fits above speaker panel below back glass. u see it thru back glass. hope that helps!
