strut tower bars...and the bolts

[Blue_azure]

I'm using Neuspeed on mine and it is still has enough thread

I thought thread lock just let you know if the torque was broken. It doesn't actually hold the torque does it? And I'd still like to know the torque if you guys know, I don't want to overtighten the nuts.

lock tight will lock the threads...and makes things a bitch to take off...but when it's needed...it's a good thing to have in.

If you didn't know the bolt was thread locked and you're taking it off...you'll swear it's stripped. A nice sigh of relief when you see the blue coating on the threads.

Megan Strut Bar

I used 28 ft lbs of torque and used a touch of green torque seal. Adds a nice touch to the engine bay, not bad for $61.50. Didn't fit at first though, I guess after you mount the brackets on the tops of the struts you have to jack the car up a few inches to relieve the load on the suspension. Looks good though, and once the roads dry out I'll test it on some turns.
