I am assuming you have 96-00 civic with a d16y7 motor. The intake box will be in the way and you will not be able to use the strut bar. On the topmost part of the strut towers there are two hole markings per side. The bar will not line up exactly on the center of these hole markings, but they are good enough. Drill holes through the markings at the outermost part or wherever the strut bar lines up and get some nuts and bolts at a hardware store.

 

so what do i do about the intake box? remove that shiet?

I cut a notch in mine but it goes through where the air filter is so I ended up getting an intake.

 

Try jacking your car off the ground before drilling the holes. Once the vehicle is on the ground, the chassis deflects enough to keep the holes from lining up perfectly. This is why it is required that you jack the car of the ground to install a Neuspeed tower brace (even though it mounts to the UCA studs and not the OEM tower holes)...
