[QUOTE="chawski, post: 7079171, member: 616379"] Have you made any progress on the box yet? just an idea to throw out there to prevent any size requirements due to the strut brace... Make a box with a 2ish inch tall cutout to fit around the brace, and make it as deep as the distance from the brace to the back of the seat. That way the bar can go through the box, instead of building a box that will only fit under it. thats what I had to do when I built a box for my buddys sti and it worked out really well. Whats nice about it is you can fab up a little hook for each side of the box so you can even use the strut brace to anchor the box in place so it doesnt hit the trunk lid every time you get lead footed from a stop, as im sure happens once in a blue moon in an evo ha Also, as far as the weight concern... if this were a track car, id say yea, watch every lb you put in the car. Seeing as its probably more of a daily driver with maybe the occasional weekend warrior at the track, I wouldnt even worry about the weight. the gas mileage already stinks on it...100lbs of deadener on a car with 200+ hp isnt gonna slow you down much at all. It might even make the car a bit more enjoyable to drive long distances anyway [/QUOTE]
