Rear Upper Strut Bar Problem!
Hey everyone, I got my OBX racing struts, front and rear, in the mail the other day and I have been having a lot of trouble trying to get the rear one installed. The problem is that the screws in the far back corner are impossible to remove. I made sure the wrench was set to loosen, and then tried as hard as I could, and in the process of doing so I striped one of the screws clean. Now what am I suposed to do. If I bring it back to the honda dealership can they remove the striped screw and just put the rear strut bar on for me? Another thing that I was thinking of is when I put the strut bar over the screws, there is still enough room for me to put another set of bolts, 9/16 I believe. Could I do that? I would really appreciate your help!
PS. Does anyone have any problems with their front strut bar screwing up their washers? Mine pops up the washers and I don't think it can be adjusted!

well the front fits fine in my car and all, except it goes up too far and it hits the windshield sprayers and makes them pop out from the hood. I am really pissed about that. I should have gone with a DC strut!
