Stillen FSTB question
What is the purpose of step #4 on the instruction sheet?
All I did was install the strut rings & then insert the bar ... that's all ... am I missing something?

You need to torque the connections adequately to make sure everything is "even" and the bar works right.
I'm not sure what step #4 says, but it's probably one of those two things.

There's a sensor on the driver side of the engine compartment just under the bar near the ring attachment area, and it's necessary to keep the bar from hitting it. The Stillen FSTB comes with a metal tubular spacer which I used to extend that sensor downwards away from the bar, so there's plenty of clearance.

the copy of the instruction sheet that I got is kind of messed up.
So, with no help, and with only the limited mechanic skill that I have I did the installation. I have that cylinder spacer, but I did not used it.
If anybody is kind enough please scan the actual installation instruction from stillen and post it on the forum please.
I didn't used torque wrench when I installed it, any side effect in the future?
Thank you

You'll probably be OK without the torque wrench, as long as everything was made fairly tight...but you might want to borrow one from a friend for the two minutes it'll take to recheck the torque all around, just to be on the safe side.

Why not call Stillen and ask them to send or fax you another copy of the installation sheet? They've been very cooperative whenever I've called them on the phone.

For what we are paying for their product, we deserved a better treatment.
thank you
