I agree, when I called the tech dept. to make sure I had the correct rear
bar and installed it correctly (like it could be installed incorrectly LOL)
the tech just said. "it should fit, make sure everything is installed
correctly". With that kind of an answer I didn't even bother getting
technical with the guy, I just said thank you for your time and hung up.
Installation had nothing to do with it, they were just not designed to work
together, no R&D went into these pieces, such a shame.
The other thing I didn't like about the Autotech rear bar was the fact that
you have to completely remove the bar to change the rear shocks or springs,
who was the bonehead that designed this feature.

That makes sense. For the price the Eurosport bar was a good buy.

If I were to do it again and had a little more cash I'd go for an adjustable
one though. I guess I just dont like drilling holes or modifiying things
that are brand new, would rather make it myself if it's got to be modified
to fit. Eurosport should sell the rear bar undrilled and have the customer
drill their own hole to fit that way you don't have and extra hole with no
purpose.
That's how I'd do it.

This is what makes true enthusiasts come back and buy other products. I will
probably buy from them in the future if the need arises.
Techtonics Tuning is the same way, Excellent customer support and a VERY
knowledgable staff (they actually test their products to make sure they
work).
TT still holds my highest ranking of all tuners I have ever dealt with in
all things automotive. Darrell and Colin have helped me tremendously.
Autotech........well you probably have already figured that one out.
