    Too much money, Those things can't cost $10 to make and they sell them for $100. I can buy a nice ass strut for cheaper then that little thing. I'm thinking I should just build my own ;)

    they better hold up considering i paid a shitload (more like two car payments) to get that bike. if it sucks then BMW sucks on thier after market products. Dammit now you got me thinking i need to go and get it out of the pawn shop. i pawned the day i forgot it was my ex's birthday and i needed something to give her and i was broke, but the bike changed everything.

    i was going to buy one for my tC. the tC has terribly soft engine mounts...which means insane amounts of annoying wheelhop. instead of a tire squeal, i get squeal -chirp-chirp-bog down engine-chirp

    annoying, especially in the rain. the only reason i didn't go with the strut is because i have an all glass roof. i don't want to put extra strain on my car's chassis, thus intern my send all that to the roof. scions have been having plenty of problems with spontaniously shattering sunroofs

    you need to have the seal checked and loosened they have been shattering due to overtighting of the screws and the seals are too hard. as for stronger chassis the strut and mounts are worth the cost.
