It should be straight forward as to how to do it man. But bolt it on, its as simple as it looks. Just make sure your car isnt up in the air when you do it.

First of all , Kiss My a**. second, all I wanted to know was: do I have to jack it up. Do I have to take something off to put it on? I haven't gotten it yet,So I'm just seeing what is involved. Yall are snotty when it comes to stuff. There isn't any reason to flame somebody just because they ask you to share your knowledge. We are supposed to be family.

I will say that installing my Neuspeed bar was pretty much like the supplied instructions.

Make sure the car is on level ground and not jacked up. Lifting it up will make the shock towers spread out. A good hint if the bar is not quite lining up.

The hardest part was indeed moving the clutch reservoir, since the bar makes it hard to unscrew the cap. I just drilled a new hole in the mounting bracket and used the stock mounting bolt and hole. All in all it took 30 minutes and that was fooling around. If you have a socket set, I am sure that it will go pretty easy.

I can understand your questions, but once you have the bar, you can always send me an email and I would be happy to share.

good instructions. i agree with dustman...some of you should jump off your pedestals and help out the guy. it isn't inconceivable that someone has never done a single mod so therefore the questions. he was just trying to clarify. it's too bad we see more and more of this on this forum. in any case, hope you got it in ok.

This board is far from snotty. They have some other boards that will eat you to shreds if you posted this topic.

If you use a DC Sports Strut Bar all you need is to bolt it on.
