Neuspeed Strut Bar... Need Help

I tried to put it on and the holes wont line up. Like one side will go on and the other wont. How do I fix it? Do i have to loosen the third nut? Someone please help.

If you are talking about the front bar, you might want to try loosening the "stock" (factory) bar first. If you just loosen-up the strut tower nuts, you should be able to just slip the Neuspeed bar on.

When I got mine, I did notice that it almost looked like mine wasn't going to fit -- I had just received the bar and was holding it over the strut tower studs (with nuts on).

Once I loosened the factory bar and removed the 2 nuts (on each side), the bar slipped on.

If you already did this, and are still having problems, I'm sorry for wasting your time...

Mine fit perfectly , but there are people that had to jack their car up to make it fit. Try that and it should work just fine

I thought Jens said that this was not such a great idea... (yes/no)?

i had to make sure the car was at a level surface. also, when i put the strut bar on top of the bolts, it didn't sit flat, so i had to knock it a little bit at the top to make it sit flat.

I just installed the strut bar tonight. I didn't have to loosen the stock bar or do anything other than drop the neuspeed bar in place and tighten the nuts
