Same as the comptech, loosely attached one side, then you should drop the other side's shock/spring assemblies and then push it back up. Goes right on. Since I recommend the car being jacked up, you use the jack under the side you drop so that the shock/spring doesn't slam down.

Both wheels need to be off the ground for it to fit, I thought I jacked the car high enough but I had to use the stock jack to the max height with jack stands after...

Can I use those heavy duty jacks to lift from primary jacking point in the front of the car instead of using 2 jacks on each sides?

If you mean jack the car up and put jack stands under it, sure. Point is, get the front end off the ground, remove the old tower bar, install the neuspeed loosely on one side and then drop the other sides' shock and then raise it back up into the neuspeed bar holes.

here's how I did it, I put the driver side on first and lightly tightened it. Then I used a pry bar to align the passenger side and pushed down pretty hard, then lightly tightened those bolts. The bar will rub the a/c line a bit, but seems to only be pushing on the insulation.

Once I had the bolts lightly tightened I torqued the passenger side first then the driver. Then drove for a while and retorqued.

If you have any plan to install header, I would do that first before adding the Neuspeed bar as space would be very limited on top.
