InanimateCarbonRod will become famous soon enough

Usually a direct bolt on. Manual trans car may have to relocate the clutch fluid reservoir, but from what I hear, it's a piece of cake.

and yea, the Neuspeed strut bar is way effective. I was pretty surprised myself at the improvement in handling.

Nice, I'll be getting one soon as well. You can install it without using a torque wrench but it's always good to torque things up to spec. Just remember it is possible to over torque things.

When I installed my generic strut bar I do not remember moving the reservior at all. I guess it was not a hassle. I checked a couple months ago and its been relocated.

Installed my front upper Neuspeed bar this morning. Had to relocate the clutch fluid resevior. Best to jack up driver side of the car so that the front suspension drops. You then have to reach behind the strut/spring and thread the supplied nut on the original bolt. Once you've installed the bar, I think the directions state torquing the nuts to 33 lbs. On the maiden voyage this morning, I noticed things up front do seem stiffer. On to the X-brace installation.
