Ok, so I know I have to drill the holes, where the two idententions are, right above the struts. However, does it matter which way I put in the bolts? Also what size bolts and washers should I use and what should I torque them too?

 

you should use whatever size bolts fit through the holes on the bar. grade 8, or better. i just went to lowes/home depot, bought 4 allen head bolts, like 1-1.5 long. flat, and lock washers, nuts.

 

i dont remember exactly, but i dont think that i used those indentions for the holes. take the bar and prefit it, checking out whether the holes line up. when i installed mine, i installed them with the end of the bolt pointing up.

 

I gave Comptech a call and ordered just the mounting hardware for their "Titanium Series Front Strut Bar". It made the installation of my GSR upper strut bar a toatal breeze!

You can see the mounting hardware pictured right below the strut bar for reference in the event you want to fab something up yourself. I went ahead and paid their asking price which was quite expensive for some bolts and nuts -/+ $25 . But I do have piece of mind that the load is distributed evenly because of the mounting plate that is welded between the bolts

 

i just went to orchard supply and paid not almost a dollar for all of my bolts,nuts, and washers...works great on my EJ8...its really just for looks...haha

 

so does it make a difference which way I put in the bolts? Also what do I need to torque the bolts to?

 

I put the bolts coming from the wheel well into the engine bay

 

and tourque doesn't matter that much. just make them tight!

When you hear cracking, it's too tight.

 

the indentations DONT line up. hold up the bar where you want it, mark it.

drill hole lil bigger then bolt.

uese a washer on both sides

Bolts from Top Down

lock washer under the bottom washer.

Tighen it tight, then tighten later after a few driving hours.
