I think it's definitely worth it. they're not very expensive and are a good way of reducing body flex which causes the roof pillar at the rear of the doors to crack. I've installed mine way back in the 90's and am not running in the 9's and I never got a crack in my roof pillars, ever.

nice and clean
Cost around $75 from Kirban. Like the ideas other have but I do want a clean look even though once covered I will never see them again.

Did you weld,bolt, or rivet it in? I am going to do the same thing this year. And, is it true that the suspension must have the weight of the car on it during installation?

Mine is bolted in. My car was on the ground when I installed it but I don't think it makes any difference if it is or not. I also added the missing "GNX" bushing.

Mine is also bolted in, but I think I had my car leveled on 4 jack stands when installed.

Kirban 2 cents worth
it is well worth the money as several have said. By the time you screw around buying tube pipe and having a press to flatten the ends and figuring out how to put a slotted hole in 2 of the bars and powder coat them simply buy the ones we sell that are all exact. You bolt them in....we also sell the other one that resembles the GNX one which is more money either way you will feel the difference even with a hardtop car...I have it in my car....
of all the braces this is the one that makes the biggest difference....in our cars.....the others up front work great too but this one is the main one....
