My understanding is that all WK come with a strut bar brace, it's just that the SRT8 strut bar brace is made heavy duty compared to the non-SRT8 strut bar brace.
A SRT8 strut bar brace is a common upgrade/swap for WK owners that do not own a SRT8 WK. The front of the WK will not flex as much with the SRT8 strut bar brace.
You don't need a breaker bar at all and the bolts are not welded in place. You need to move the Coolant Reservoir on the passenger side and then the fuse boxes on the drivers side, which are just held on by plastic tabs. Easy, just time consuming. I've done it like 8 times now. Oh, and just make sure you have a socket extension.
I painted mine which only took about 5 hours from start to finish. No need to take it to a paint shop unless its a special color or graphics IMO. It cost me $10 to do it.
I just saw this....lol. Yup, no space for me with the KB. No issues, but I have not done any autocross events unfortunately. Any aftermarket ones out there if I want to throw one back in? I may have one fabricated.....
