did it come with common sense? you seem to be missing that too

edit: try looking at itto figure out how it mounts and then use the common sense i talked about and put it to use

GOes between the two mount points for your rear LCA's. He is correct common sense is very helpful. Except for torque specs and clearances, pretty much everything on your car can be solved with this awesome power

Your very quick to jump the gun on bashing people! I was a tech at honda for 2years and am still working in the industry now and instuctions is always a good thing even the best most professional mechanic uses manuals or instructions!I remember installing a lower tie bar on my friends integra even I was wondering what to do with the brakeline brackets because they would not fit with the tie bar on so I had to fabricate something to hold them I too wish they came with instructions to tell me what to do but they didnt. Instructions just make the quality of a part that much better!

That reply just shows that you probably don't even work on your own car! Don't bash people just because they are seeking help at least he is trying to learn to work on his own car! You probably take your car somewhere to get worked on don't you FF-Panda!

the skunk bar comes with weird looking spacers so i can where the confusion come from... the spacers fit into the sperical bearings on either side, the bigeer spacer goes closest to the cars subframe, the smaller spacer closer to the muffler. then just take out you stock lower control arm bolt and replace it with the ones skunk provides, then once they are tight get a wrench and expand the bar so there is no "play" youll see what i mean.

i thought i was pretty nice about it..i told him its common sense which it is..all he has to do is put on some crappy clothes and lay on the ground to see where and how it mounts then use some common sense to install it...all you need is tools and time and its an easy job

edit: oh and by the way i dont give people respect they have to earn it

So you know more than him about working on cars (maybe) why don't you use that knowledge and act like a grown up instead of trying to show people up! Maybe that explains why you have 94%.
By the way you have to show respect to be able to earn it!

I agree that it is stupid going back and forth like little kids on this topic.The main reason why I posted is because instructions and manuals are a good thing and I used my friends car as an example but when I see that a bunch of people are bashing this guy because he needs some instruction thats not helping him either. And yes he did ask advice on a basic thing but that deserves a basic answer Its not like he is posting a bunch of rice topics! We all started out working on our cars and learned as we went along remember that! No hard feelings whats said is done

If there was a kick in the *** icon I'd give both of em one of those for acting like children. Please, our senior members need to be examples to the noobs, not big bad monsters scaring them off. If he would've asked something like, "Can I get my SOHC civic into the 9's while keeping my 23's and streetability?" that's one thing. Tech questions, however, are what these forums are for.

Panda, you're a complete jerk on almost every thread I've read this week. You obviously know your way around hondas: why not stop being the site's designated ******* and start spreading your experience? It's a win-win situation, bro.

I got a skunk bar as a gift, but the box was open and there was no hardware, what all is supposed to be there?

I have the same bar... I understand the spacers thing, but what do you mean by this? I am unclear on how you adjust this bar.....
