The bar is meant to be a very tight fit. It basically pre-loads the chassis. You have to find a way to flex the chassis to make it fit. This is typically done by jacking up one corner of the car, putting on one end, and repeating on the other side.There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

Steel's picture shows it all. Its a little tricky, just keeping working at it. It WILL fit.

You want to use the UCA nuts closest to to front of the car. The strut tower ones will fall in place.
As mentioned above, it is best to raise the car to install. It will be a tight fit.
Hope that helps.

djcaz_aom's spot on.
Passenger's side:
The main cross bar goes to the forward-most UCA bolt, the rear lines up with a strut bolt.
Driver's side:
Again, the main cross bar goes to the forward-most UCA bolt and the rear bar falls into place. I personally was able to get it to slide on w/o jacking up the car. I guess YMMV.

Sorry to bring this thread back but when you guys say jack up the car, do you mean jack up the front center of the car or the two areas right behind the front wheels where they are made to jack up the car?
I put the car on jack stands where the normal jacking points are, behind the wheels, and the bolts don't move closer to mount the bar? My bar is about 1/4" short b/w the UCA bolts.
Thanks.

Originally posted by Kevin Chinnn View PostIve always thought that they bolt on the two UCA bolts on each side.... Im really thinking about getting one soon, so I need to know too.
Also, are these really THAT much better than the regular old fashion strut bar? (i.e. Megan Racing)

I have never had any other bar except this one. on the 2 accords i had them in they made a huge difference man. its a very good investment.. they usually go for about 100 bucks in the FS section but they are very well worth it
