Front strut bar question

I do have a front strut bar on my ride right now. This weekend, when doing my Progress springs, I realized the bar was a perfect fit on both the front and the rear bolt on the tower.

Did anybody ever tried putting the bar on the front bolt instead of the back one. What would be the pros and cons of using the front bolt as opposed to the one in the back?

What if we got one for each (since it's too late for me to get a K-bar from RRM)? Would two bars help?

That was actually my next question...

But my main concern is, would the bar be more effective on the front or rear bolt?

For the front bar, I think it might be more effective on the front since that's further from the firewall. Ask Rock to make sure. As to getting 2 bars, it won't do much unless you tie them together, like the RMR one, but that's more weight than it's worth imo. Confidentially, the front strut bar isn't as important. If you have a single bar, be happy with that and worry about the other suspension parts where it really counts on the Lancer.

Aight... I'll give that a try tonight. If I don't reply tomorrow it will be because I shouldn't have and ended up in a ditch somewhere

I'm thinking worst case scenario is that you don't REALLY notice a difference.... take it easy on those ditches
