i just want to know,what exactly do I have to do to install a rear lower tie bar?Is it just unbolt the control arm bolts and then mount it back up?Also,can the tires be free flowing off a lift or should the car be sitting as if it is on the ground?Thanks ppl!

bwahahahahaha.... i have had one of those sitting in my backseat for a year because i have heard nothing but nightmares about putting them on and the one time i tried i couldnt get the bolt out to install it. good luck and let me know how you got it on if you do

the car cant be on the ground and yes you just unbolt the lca bolts and install but its easier said than done on a civic.... snapping bolts sucks.

also, i dont mean to sound like an ***, but its a lower tie bar because it does not get near a strut or shock at all. it simply ties two points of the chasis.

its cool!thanks for the correction and the info.I was looking at those bolts and they do look as if they are going to be a pain in da *** to get off.Only one way to find out tho!

damn!don't say that ****!well,my biggest worry is breaking the bolt.If that **** breaks what the hell do i do?freaking honda dealer is like 1hr away and i don't even have a second car right now.

i would caot the **** out of the bolts with some motor oil and let it sit for a hour or so and then try to bust loose. if/when it gets hard to turn add more oil. repeat
