So I just got my neuspeed upper front tie-bar delivered and immediately noticed a problem. Everything lines up okay but the holes on the feet of the bar are nowhere near large enough to fit over the beastly control arm studs. The box and instruction sheet have the correct part number for my 93 vtec and they dont put part numbers on the actual bar. So anyway, I called neuspeed and they said that it may have been mis-packaged. I ordered from shox.com but it was sent straight from neuspeed.

Enough of my story... I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem? Is it worth following through and trying to get a new bar(neuspeed has been very cooperative so far) or should I just drill out the holes?

Thanks in advance

 

I say save the time and headaches of shipping boxes and calling people and just drill out the holes.

You're right, it's not worth the time and trouble to send it back. But thats not the point. The point is that the product isn't right. Let them know that the bar don't fit.

 

yeah man, if it's for a different car, i can assume there is more different than juts bigger holes, get a new one..

 

if you mean upper strut bar i had no problems with mine it all lined up correctly, and used the stock bolts

 

yeah, its the upper strut bar, neuspeed just calls it a upper tie-bar. Well, I let them know about the problem and everything ligns up fine so I guess I will just drill bigger holes. Thanks alot for the replies

 

oh, i was thinking it was a sway bar, not a strut tower bar.. nevermind my post

 

only problem I had was gettong the other side to line up when the left side was bolted. I jacked the center of the car up a bit and the cae spead open a bit to line up the bolts. The holes themselves were fine.
