Default Neuspeed Strut bar Quick question

Just got one in the mail, but it was used so I jsut got the bar. Its the front strut tower bar for a 4th gen. Anyone know if there is any hardware to come with it besides the bar itself? I imagine I jsut unbult and bolt in the bar, but for info and the cost of me messing something up, Id like to hear from you guys. TIA.

check the bottom for a reply to this

You don't need anything but the bar,
just bolt it up to the strut towers

Nope, there is no other hardware. Just the bar.
FYI, it is easiest to mount with 2 people, so you don't accidently push the A-arms mounting bolts back into the wheel well, when you are trying to position it around the brake and clutch cylinder resevoirs on the driver side, and all the wires on the passenger side

Nope, all you need is the bar & lots of muscle to put it on...the neuspeed bar is made well & is a very tight fit to put on...you may need a prybar to push up the upper arm if the upper arm bolts start slipping down into the holes...it also doesn't hurt to have a rubber mallet available for this job as well...

Ok, well I tried to unbolt today, but it didn't work out since the bolts started to be pulled down. Can I jack up the car on each side and do this easier? Do I absolutly need 2 people?

No need to jack it up...you have to put something underneath the upper control arm to make sure the bolts stay up - I reccommend using a prybar
