OK, so I keep spacing out the need to pass this on:

I contacted Mike yesterday about his rear mounts, his response:

Bernie we all know and love to bug...

Hap is a Hawaiin-shirt-wearing urS4 wildman who has worked out a rear
bar for
the later urS4s, many of us who frequent both lists know the legend...

I'm in the Denver(Boulder) area, usually have no time to play but may be
able
to provide both sedan and avant test mules.  Somebody please weigh in on
tools
to quantify the difference in handling with and without the added bar as
I don't
think a subjective butt-dyno is adequate.  (G-Tek... toy or tool??)
