I know it's easier than it sounds but it would really suck installing it and having like the struts come off so if anyone could help me out with a detailed step of installing this thing that'll be great. Also I don't have a torque wrench so how tight should I turn it with a regular wrench? It came with instructions but I was wondering where do you move the clutch holder to? What am I suppose to use the nut that they supplied for?

Hey bro, good choice in the strut bar! I just installed it last night in a parkinglot. I used a 1foot long ratchet wrench with an extension to a 14mm socket. I basically torqued it nice and tight so that my wrench wouldn't move any further. Gotta make sure those struts are bolted tight to the body or else you will hear noise and experience flex.

That extra nut that came with the package is weird, I didn't understand what it was for, so I just left it aside.

Before you put the strut bar on , fit the mounts over the passenger side strut, then flex the bar a little to fit the mounts over the bolts on the driver side strut. That's about it, and don't forget about those rubber caps that go over the nut holes on the strut bar.

Good luck, it's very easy to install

If you have a torque wrench, torque the bolts to 33 ft-lbs approximately.

No need, just remove those strut bolts, put on the bar, put the bolts back on and torque it to 33 ft-lbs approximately.

How tight is 33ft lbs torque?

You need a torque wrench to figure that out unfortunately... you could always just torque it on by guessing, but it's safer to go according to the specifications.
