Neuspeed upper Strut Bar installed (pics)
I just got done installing the Neuspeed upper strut bar in my CL.
It was a little bit harder then I was expecting.
As you can see from the second photo, the bolts weren’t even CLOSE to lining up when I first dropped it in there.
I had to loosen ALL the bolts on the front struts and the factory bar, JACK up the one side of the car and TUG and PULL it into place.
Once I had ONE bolt started I was able to power it down with my “Clicky Turny thing”
.
At the advice of Jens at Park Avenue Acura, I wrapped three “ZIP-TIES” around the stock bar to prevent rubbing of the two bars together.
I installed one of my “COMPTECH” stickers on the stock bar too.
No road test yet. It’s raining out right now and I just got done washing.

Ahahahahaha best responses ever!
I'm probably gonna get it too but I want to hear his driving results as to whether or not it's even noticeable if you already have the comptech sways on (you do have them on the new car right Shawn?).

I guess it expands once it gets used? I installed mine with in 10 minutes of picking it up with 8 miles on the car. It droped right into place. No jacking or any fuss.

It doesn’t really look as bad as it does in the photo.
I knew one of you PRICKS would point that out.
It’s one of those “reverse mount” stickers that are hard to align because you can’t see the letters through the backing till it’s already on.
I’ll probably peel it off and fix it later.
I have FOUR of those stickers that came with my SPRINGS & SWAYS.

I gave it a brief test drive last night, but the wife was in the car so I couldn’t push it too much.
