installing rear upper strut bar

[strongpants]

hey can any one help me with the installation of the rear upper strut bar..i got a megan bar but i dont know where to install it ..does it go under the car where the rear lower bar goes? or behind the seat?

Id need to see pictures. It could be both. The one for under your car should be alot smaller then a strut bar for your engine bay/ inside the car in the rear. and example is here:

This is a Strut bar for the suspension in the back:
If it looks like this its NOT for under the car



And this is a lower strut tie bar. Useless on our cars.

it does look similar to the one in the picture.....the rear upper bar that i have has similar mounting brackets to the ones that goes under the hood...(i wish i had pictures but i dont)...the only difference is the the rear upper bar has two holes on the bracket whereas the front upper has three...

i guess i have to mount this inside the car behind the seats?.

why is the lower strut tie bar useless?

[Maple50175]

yup then it's for the rear shocks. Those should just have 2 holes..

so why are lower strut bars useless...

Lower rear tie bars are useless on Maple's car, but everyone else with a CB7 should notice an improvement.
I know I did...

I don't have a pic of the rear upper, but I can get one if you need it

They don't do anything on our car's I dont have one. It's for looks. I couldnt find the exact reason why but I think on civic hatches they improve handling.

Yeah If anyone knows about that post post it up!

thanks for the help guys

our cars have a small crossmember between those two points, so tying them together doesnt do much more than what the stock crossmember does. on civics/tegs, each mount point is independantly mounted so tying them together actually does something...

i'd like to see a picture of the upper rear.

Shouldn't it be in the trunk.You should halve to just take out the carpet in the trunk and you will see where it goes then put the carpet back in after cutting the holes.

Come on it says

Rear=that means back
Upper=that means top
rear strut=common sense

[cp[mike]]

for those of you who dont know where it goes, fold down your rear seat and you can see the tops of the strut towers on either side. youll need to cut holes in the trunk paneling for the bar to pass through, and it should cross right behind the rear seat.

theres a pics

this is what u need to do

first lower ur back seats
then take off the two place covers
then u can see the strut tower undo the three nuts
now u have to cut a hole on each side tho the carpet wall stuff so the bar can past thought
disconnect the bar from the mounting legs and place the mounting legs on the screws off the shocks the put the nuts on, the screw the bar back on, tighting up ur do
