Either they mount where ur struts mount (if so, unbolt the 2-3 bolts that hold the struts, put the tower bar on, then put the nuts back on) or, there will be 2 dimples on each side where it should mount. Drill those out and by some hardware to mount the strut bar.

I was thinking the exact same thing!
Don't listen to all these people who tell you need anything more expensive than that ebay garbage though, they're just aluminum rods, good call on going cheap.
I've seen a couple guys online who know more about suspension setups then i'll ever forget running ebay bars.

hah my friend once bought some ebay ricer strut bar for his corolla once. it was useless as ****. because you can literally stick you hand on it and bend it! it was so flexible... it was like defeating the purpose of having it.

I bought that same kit from ebay but I only paid $48 shipped for all 4 bars. They actually helped steering response quite a bit... The upper bars make the most difference...I didn't feel anything from the front lower or rear lower. they fit my 99 4DR DX perfectly. not bad for $12 a bar

Re: Strut Towe & Bar (waterboy)
The top ones are easy enough but the bottom ones are bolted along with the lower control arm pickup point on the subframes and these bolts aren't easy to undo. I would leave those for a pro with an impact because you risk breaking a bolt there.

Seriously, it took me 10 min to do mine, and that was including time to take it out of the package it came in. DIY
Or if you are that worthless with cars, take it to a shop and get charged an arm and a leg. Either way, best of luck to your car
