    installing dc strut bar

    i finally got home and i can install all my goodies! I know where im supposed to bolt it too, but the mounting pieces are loose and im assuming they need to be tightened down after i install? also should i jack the front end up when i put the bar on? anyone else install one of these? just wanna make sure im doin it right

    Jack the car up, install at the shock towers, then tighten the one in the middle that adjust the length. Lower car. Done.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    no, don't jack the car. if you do, the shock/spring assembly will fall once you remove the tower bolts. keep the car on the ground and remove the tower bolts. install the strut bar, put the bolts back on and tighten as far as you can. adjust the tension of the strut bar on each end and lock it down. easy as that.

    yeah jacking the car up made the tower bolts to drop so i just put em on then jacked it up and tightened it down. steering is a lil more responsive i cant wait to put my springs/struts on
