on 92 hatch.
When I installed the C pillar and the upper rear strut bar I got stuck. Upon installation do I Tighten them closer together so they "bring the car in" or "push them" out?
Because the only way i can get the c-pillar really tight is when I tighten it in, when I push them out there is not enough screw and it comes out/
And on the upper rear strut bar it only gets tight when I push them a part?

Does it realy matter? Or as long as they are tight and stiff they are doing what they supposed to?

 

They don't do anything anyway, so it doesn't matter.

 

Thanks for for being so descriptive! Really and you think that you will convince anyone. Would be great if you would beck it up somehow with some sorts of data or article. BUt maybe I am asking to much of you.

 

You can believe whatever you want.

I could care less what you waste your money and time on.

Obviously the only way you can install it is by "tightening it in," since it comes out if you do it the other way. Where is the dilemma?

- Targa, who thinks it is hilarious that someone would design threaded rod ends onto a piece intended to improve chassis rigidity.

 

I am leaning towards what Targa says.

Pull in? Push out? Do you think it really matters?

Seriously.

Are you tracking the car where body flex is such a big deal that you could be losing traction?

The proof will be in your first drive immediately after installing all those silly bars in your car. They do pretty much nothing on a street car - get over it and stop convincing yourself otherwise.

 

Tighten them up, othewise they are flimsey and don't do anything

I have always wondered why some brands are designed that way.

Chassis bars improve driver feedback in the turns, so the car may feel more solid, but you're not actually cornering any faster. If you want to handle better, look into sway bars.

 

only one peice tie/strut bars actually do what they are suppose to. anything that requires tightening is retarded. especially those dc lower tie bars. for c-pillar bar you are suppose to make it tighter/shorter

 

Thanks guys.
