Spohn "Wonderbar"
Well, I installed my wonderbar to night. No big deal, probably took a half hour. All I had to do was elongate the holes on one side of the brace. They did not quite line up. This is further evidence that my car was involved in some sort of collosion before I took ownership. Just thought I would post my results for anyone is thinking about the wonderbar.
That's NOT true. I bought the Spohn wonder bar and I also had to do the exact same thing you had to do but I KNOW my front end has NEVER been hurt.
Just thought I'd add so everyone else that has to do that does not think their car was wrecked.

I just installed my bar about 2hours ago . I bought the adjustable bar , i put 1 1/4 turns of preload in . It is sooo crisp now . I also put a spohn panhard bar in , with poly and rod end combo . So much more controlable in a drift .

I had other clues that lead me to believe my car was at one point in a front end collosion. I never thought it was bad enough to cause any frame damage. I am relieved to hear that I am not alone in having to elongate a few holes, it no biggie anyway. I actually EXPECT to have to modify everything I install on cars.

I was wondering if the adjustable piece made any difference, I guess so. Maybe if i had bought that one I would not have had to elongate those two holes!!

I also had to elongate the bolt holes for my non-adjustable Spohn TSB, and I also know I had no front end damage as well, it only took minor massaging but felt great when it was installed.
steering was definatelt tightened even after an alignment and a steering box adjustment.
