First off does the neuspeed front strut require any mods to get it to fit. Second i have a rear strut bar about to get installed. So when i do get the neuspeed as well and finally install both after i undo the bolts on the struts what do they have to be re torqued to?

 

No special mods to fit the Neuspeed fstb, maybe a lil muscle. Install both the front and rear strut tower braces with the wheels off of the ground. The torque for the bolts is 28ft lbs.

 

off the ground are you sure? they wont fall off. Sorry i am still a newb, wont the struts fall off?

No they wont.

 

really ok. why do you jack the car up? does it make it so there is no pressure or osmething. And what happens to your car if a strut is improperly insatlled?

 

One more newb question. This is extreme to the max and i will proably get some harrasement but how do you know the amount of torque you are going too. If you say becaseu i dont know this answer go to a shop to have it done than that is fine but could you still explain plese

That's correct. Nothing happens, I just think thats the optimal way to install them. Also, when I installed my Neuspeed brace it took 2 people to muscle it on to the bolts, I think if the car is off of the ground it would make the install easier. Maybe im just weak

Get a torque wrench. I know the specs because I have a service manual

 

how much do they cost becasue i am in need of one for sure. I have noticed way to many upgrade require a torque wrench and im sure i can figure it out. Plus i guess i will buy a service manual off ebay right now. Got any recommendations?"

 

you can get a "cheap" torque wrench which is craftman

on sale its usually 70 bux. autozone brand ones suck and i don't personally like them

there are better torque wrenches out there (dad has a snap on and a mac because of the different torque ranges)

 

ok sweet, i was told sears has some craftman wrenchs so i will go tomorrow. thanks for all the help

No muscle is required. Get a rubber mallet. Lightly tap the bar in. You can install it in 2 minutes or less.

 

does any body have a picture of 4 gen with lower strut bar? like where does it go i had a quick look today in morning when i was leaving to work and i couldnt figure out were it goes.
