Strut Bars...

I bought some strut bars from Trevor and I was wondering if there are any secrets installing them or is it just pretty straight forward?
Thanks in advance,
ROB

Thanks,
That's what I thought. I've heard that there's a trick to the rear lower strut bar! I'm not sure though?

oooOOh. had a funny feeling u were referring to that thing
best to take it to a shop and get it mounted on cuz once u take those 2 bolts out!!!
that whole thing is gonna fall on u.. so my best advice would be pay a shop 10-20 bucks to get put it in.

As for the others, I heard you wanna make sure that you install them while on a totally level surfac, so put your car in the garage, or best yet. Take them all to Brad, I am sure he would do it for you.

Yea,
I think i will but i don't like to bother brad if it's something i can do myself. He helped me with my cai for free so i don't want to **** him off he helps out quite a bite. Yes I am still feeling the effect of golfing. Hey I won a Nike golf bag and then I turned around and sold it to Dave for 100 plus a t shirt. I thought that was a good deal!

All hail golfer Rob. Damn man, good deal. So I gotta ask, what are you gonna buy for your car with the $100.

Maybe some new spark plugs. I heard that the Denso Iridium ik20's make your car run a lot better for a fairly good price!

hey rob, what they have told you is correct, the upper bars are so simple to mount, it only takes 15 min tops for the front, the rear can be a little tricky but I would say about 30 min. and the lowers, if I were you, since you dont sound so sure, get them installed by a shop, if those arms fall out it can be a lttle tricky to get them back in. If you need any tips over this, feel free to gimmie a shout. Shoot, another tip...the front bar, on the drivers side strut mount, you need to lower the power steering resevoir, its simple, unbolt, move down and bolt in the other hole there...
good luck mon.

Trevor
