It keeps it tight and tied to the bottom of the radaitor support..I have NON at the top..its not needed if your clips fit tight. All I have one on each corner fo the bottom of the bumper. I cut some of the bumper and then made a bracket for the fog lights..its stiff...I own a small body shop/ detail shop and Im very picky about gaps..it looks factory!

Thanks. I bought the Bear eradispeeds oe replacements. The fronts saved 6lbs total. I'm gonna work on the axle flanges and front bearing flanges next. There is actually production cars with those peices drilled from the factory.

Sorry for hijack...
So those are not the "plus" ones. Are the Baer rear rotors lighter as well? 6 pounds in rotor weight is like 60 pounds of lost weight due to it be recipicating weight! WOW!!! Thats great!

Previous owner took both front and rear support out. Man, is the rear sagging bad on the sides.

I know of someone installing a burkhart in a TA that had to lop off and reweld the fog light brackets. They were over an inch off in one direction. Wonder if they got that fixed?

So the midwest bar is cheaper?
