Fstb request

When I joined the site. I was reading a thread about FSTB. There was a member on here who said he was willing to help someone install it. I live in the burbs of Philly. I'm pretty sure he mentioned he was from the NYC area. I would be willing to make the drive if I could get some assistance with the install.

Easiest mod ever.

No help needed.

An oil change is hard compared to a FSTB install.

all you have to do is remove the bolts holding the upper part of the strut, put the bar on, then re-install the bolts. takes like 5 minutes

shouldnt matter, the strut itself doesnt go loose or anything when you undo the bolts on the strut tower. i cant think of any way a angle affects it

you can be at a 45 degree angle, so long as your car is still on the ground.

open the hood, there are two covers, one on the drivers side to the rear and the passenger side which goes long the left side. remove them. now there are 6 nuts showing, 3 on the left, three on the right. remove them. don't worry, there is a plate on the bottom. the bolts are attached to the bottom plate. they will not fall out and unless you jack the car up two feet, the bolts won't move. now put the FSTB over the bolts, and reinstall the nuts. Don't forget the covers. Make them very tight. Best mod for this car IMHO. helps tremendously with torque steer.
