the two bolts on the hats are larger then stock, you will have to drill out the holes on the strut bar

Those extended shock mounts would not let me re-install my OEM integra strut tower bar on my 94cx civic. I looked it up in the archives and it would also seem they interfere with the ITR bar as well. Some people use a dremel to remove some of the material where it was interfering, but I just left the bar off (not much of a difference in performance).

If you've got some money burning a hole in your pocket, you could buy a Neuspeed strut tower bar that mounts to the UCA studs instead. It's a little spendy, but it's one of the best strut tower bar designs.

Sub $1500 "full coilovers" are crap compared to Knoi/GC.

The upper mounts are all but invisible until you hit a bump. That is when their purpouse is realized. The softer bump stops that come with them provide a smooth transition between free movment & bump stop. Plus the added .75" shock travel allows a full 1" of extra wheel travel during compression. Imagine that bumps would have to be a full inch taller to feel as nasty as they do with your current setup...

They get a from me...
