Another reason is adjustability, which is allowed by three holes on each end. The outer hole is the mildest setting, and Hellwig suggests starting with it. Relocating the attachments to one of the inner holes will make the bar incrementally more aggressive. |  7. Installation of the new...  7. Installation of the new bar is easy.
