Thankfully, on the 90q I've got now, it was easier to install the OEM bar with 
some welding on the ends, and no moving of cruise, etc was necessary. Just 
cleared the battery. Improved steering response more than a bit, but still 
less than with the 4kq. This firewall seems thicker/better braced than the 
Type-85, so tying the towers together does less.

It was certainly not as easy to install on my lame Subaru Wagon.
