how to Install Front/Rear Strut Tower Bars

Hey guys i was thinking about getting a front tower bar and i was wondering if this is something easy to install or what the procedure is? Is there drilling or any modifications needed?

there is a write-up at www.maximadriver.com

just go to the how2's and select strut tower bars.

no drilling, no cutting...you just need a 14mm deep socket, and a torque wrench. its 6 bolts off...put bar in...and 6 bolts back in.

just be sure to fully extend the bar open so it applies as much pressure as it can to the strut towers.

You can find instructions here, it's not a difficult mod. No drilling is needed.

Click the 'How2' on the lefthand side, then you'll see the link for 'Install Strut Bars'.

And use the Search function on the org, it works wonders and you won't get yelled at...

FSTB installed in 60 seconds

Finally...
The mod I've been looking forward in addition to my HP adding caliper painting...
But I didn't feel much difference though.
Maybe just me.

RSB coming very soon and I can't wait 'till weekend.

And I have 95 Honda Accord on Sale for $6400

did you fully extend the bar open so it applies pressure to the strut towers? with the bar on i felt great improvment over stock.
