SUSP: Rear Strutbar Install

[JoshM]

After you're done tightening it on the ground....



If you put your car on a lift you can tighten it 3-4 more turns.

so wheres the DIY for the front strut bar and lower tie now?

Im just kidding but how could you not know what you need to do if you buy them?

Nice DIY

Yeah, usually those upper bars are pretty self explanatory.

Did the front one before i even joined the site. Just line it up, to find out what bolts come off.

Remove.
Place on bar.
Replace bolts.
Tighten.

Enjoy.

im not to great with cars quite yet. im still learning so yea. i figured the upper was pretty self explanitory...but if u really want one...jp. on reason i did this was cause i wanted to do a DIY and i just happened to be getting a bar to do it with.

Hey I'll give you some props on your DIY since nobody else will.

But i will leave some advice too. If you make one cut from the front(the area behind the plastic cover) of the side interior pieces in the trunk and go to a hole that the bar can pass though it looks a lot cleaner. That is what I did on my old cd5. It is a little more time consuming but the cleanliness is worth it.

Anyway pretty good write up for your first time.

Does the rear upper bar does any good for our cars?

[Junior Smurff]
