Icon6 89 Civic EF Cusco tie bar help!

I am adding a 89 civic ef cusco front lower tie bar on my car. I have a general idea of how it goes but i just wanted to get advice for the installation and wanted to see if any one can post pics of it installed. This is for just the single bar going across the front lower control arms. But the pics and advice help dont have to be just specific for my car it can be any other car thathas the single bar. Thanks!

I have this lower bar installed on my 1990 civic hatch. It is pretty straight-forward. You unbolt the front lower control arm inner pivot bolts put the bar in front of the lower control arms and then reinstall the bolts. I would let the car down off of a jack and let it sit level before I torqued the bolts however so you don't put undue stress on the bushings by binding them. The only issue I had was the lack of room between the bolt head and the oil pan gasket on the drivers side, it fit but it was tight for the torque wrench I was using.
