i got my upper strut bar (chrome :wow: ) and i havent installed it yet cause the thing is too damn hard to put in. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone out there has some advice on how I can get this thing over both strut towers without taking it to a shop and getting charged for something I should be able to do. The tie bar is about .5 inches too long. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey, werent u supposed to sell your car? I'll gladly take the strut bar off your hands when time comes to sell.

Jack the car up slightly on one side to get the bolts to match up.

I installed the Neuspeed (only mod I have)

Well, still trying to sell the car but if it doesnt sell then i am keeping my baby....so...Upper Strut bar must go on regardless....

Will this work?? The strut bar is too long, I would think that jacking the car up on one side would make this problem even worse. I could see doing this if it were too short.??

When I got mine, it was a bit short. So I had to jack up the driver's side and finally it fit in. Did you get the Accord V6 strutbar??

actually if you want to get the most flex you should jack up the car from the front (middle). my car was like 1/4" long, so i had to do that to flex the car enough to put the bar in

i don't even know how i am going to take the bar out anymore @_@

Whats a good jackpoint in the middle of the car? I dont want to screw anything up when i do this. Thanks guys...

WTF.............. just hire someone to install it for you .... sounds like you haven't the 1st clue

nameeri

Whatever dude. Im not about to pay someone for something I can do. Doesnt sound like you have a clue. I did most of the mods to my car myself...There are a lot of things under the center of the engine that could get fvcked up if you dont place the jack correctly so whats the harm in asking? If you dont know then you need to go kick rocks

Actually it helped a bit. I remember jacking the left side... the right side is still firm on the ground. Jacking up the left side up high brought the left father away from the right. The car flexes a good deal without the brace.

I got one hole started on each side... used a soft mallet to help it along..... turn the bolts to tighten down... adjust the jack up and down to help some more.

Just takes some fiddling. At one point it DID seem like it would never fit.

ok, lie down in front of the car, right from the middle (the grill area). use your hand to feel and gradually move from outside to inside. initially you will feel some plaster, pretty loose. that's the flap for avoiding dust and stuff. after that, you will come to a hard metal. that's where you jack the car up

Thanks Rominl

Ill try that on saturday. I want to get this darn thing on already and take some pics

nameeri

Thanks eggbert

Ill try this out on Saturday too. Ill take plenty of pics after the things is on and all polished up!!

wut i did was jack the car up from one side, loosen the stock strut bar a lil, then get two people, and use as much force as u can to force the strut bar into place.

rominl

wow that's a lot of force wilz i installed the whole thing with one person, but then i got the max flex on the car
