rear tie and strut bar pics & torque question
I installed this ebay original rear lower tie bar a few days ago...here's a pic for anyone who's curious. I've got a question though....what should these two bolts be torqued to?
here's a few pics of my ebay rear upper strut bar. Someone asked me to post some pics so here they are...i had to kind of modify the brackets...there was a few folds of sheet metal that wasnt allowing the bracket to lay flush...so i shaved off a little bit with a grinder and repainted it. It aint for show, but it works [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

cuz I thought the rear uppper strut is going to be blocking my trunk... it doesn't look like its doing that here in this picture...
then again its one of those ebay bars.. I really dont like 'em.. I can break 'em with my two hands.. sorta.

Rep Power: 368 the thing is, they're not as strong as the brand name ones...
I duno, I might consider getting a rear upper strut... I'm too lazy to wait for the Neuspeed one to come out.. the rear lower tie is taking forever!
oh yeah, I just realize I didn't answer your quesiton on the torque spec for the LCA bolt... 43 lb.-ft will do it.
