[s-cars] Installed the HRSB

[Mike Claire]

Cody:  Any chance of getting us some pictures of how you installed
those spacers?  I can't really picture what you're describing.  I'm
awaiting shipment of my bar, and I have the same set up as you -
Eibach/Bilstein Sport on a '93 (no OEM bar).  Greg's comment about
buying a salvage bar in preparation of the install has me a little
confused.  Hap assured me all the pieces/parts you need are included
with the bar.
