Just wanted to know if there is any trick in installing the FSTB from courtesy? Just got it tonight and want to put it on in the morning. Any input would help.....

Thanx

No tricks, it's pretty easy to install. Very straight forward.

 

I put one on in about 30 minutes total time. Noticed a difference in how it felt right away pulling out the driveway. Great bang for the buck.

 

Mine's in the mail from Street Beat Customs... should take about a year according to the posts on here . Will an SAE sized socket work on the strut tower nuts? Or am I going to have to buy metric sockets...

 

Dude, you do know that your car is from Japan right? The whole world uses metric but the US has to think of something more complicated. Just get some, you will tank me later

 

Yeah, I figured one might fit just by chance... 20 bucks for new sockets is a big deal when your account balance is less that $150 =). Isn't college great?

 

i feel your pain. One might fit but not well= striped nut.

 

Thanx for all the inputs, does anyone know the (ftlbs)for each nut and bolt on there?

i got my bar a few days ago, but never put it in....it says torque to 35 ft/lbs
I'm waiting for an air gun so i can set the ft/lbs

 

- PLEASE don't use an air gun. They are for lazy Americans who constantly strip their bolts and warp connecting components. Buy a torque wrench that has an adjustable setting. It is much safer and a top-of-the-line model will only cost you about 200 bucks. An air gun, for example, is very hard on wheels, often warping the brake rotors from the impact, and it could be even worse in the engine bay. You can use a gun for backing bolts out, but not putting them in. Get the torque wrench and save yourself from a future of misery. ;-)
