well, you can try jack up one side of the car, a lot of people get it fit that way

I had the same problem...here is what you do:...place one side of the bar mounting area on the strut assembly bolts, then take a towel and wrap it around the other side where the bar attaches to the mounting area, slowly tap the bar where the towel is with a hammer until both sides are on, then bolt one side down completely and tighten, then tap again to make sure the bar is all the way on and bolt and tighten the other side, your finished...this is what the performance shop did to get the bar on my car...hope this helps.
