How to install Spoon Sports lower strut bar?
I just got the spoon sports lower strut bar. It comes with instructions in japanese but it is only for the EK and the DC2 not for the BB6(97-01). It comes with the bar itself and two circular shaped connecting brackets. Where do I connect this strut bar to? How do I do it? Any pictures would help too.
Thanks,
Spencer

i don't think it will fit...i think the civic and integra have the same chasis but the prelude and accords are the same...if it don't fit, make it fit

IT is my understanding that both Spoon and Neuspeed never made a rear lower bar for the 5th gen. Reason: There is so much meat under there that it is actually not needed and 2 they found only a small market for the show scene.
Now I got it-you have the Upper tower bar-it goes on the shock towers-which are in the trunk area behind the liner panels-install will make sense after you move the top of the panel enough to look in there. You mount the 2 brackets, torque the nuts to 28 ft. pounds, press the liner against each one and make an oval cut so that the bar itself will go thru and then bolt the bar to the brackets. Have fun

oh, ok!...i have that spoon bar also...u have to install it on the rear strut towers in the trunk area...what u need to do is remove the trunk liner to reach the strut bolts...remove the 2 bolts, for each side, and install the part that attachs to the strut tower..replace the trunk liner and then feel around for this part...then using boxcutter, cut a rectangle large enough for the bar in the area that the strut part is located...place the bar on the strut tower parts and make sure the holes line up and then just screw in the allen screws
