Default gsr upper strut bar

when taking it off the integra i need the bar and the nuts, do the bolts come out too? cause ill be installing it on an eg(ej1 in my case), how does it bolt up? do i have holes for the bar already? if not what kinds of mods do i need to do/get?

Get new bolts/nuts/washers if you can't reuse the old ones. Not a big deal.

The bar mounts exactly the same on your Civic as it does the Integra, the holes are already there. No mods needed.

the bracket is spot welded onto the gsr, you will have to nut and bolt it, or make a new bracket for your car.

you don't have a strut bar.
you have a shock bar, (ok that sounds stupid).
the teggy doesn't have struts, it has shocks.

Was thinking the same exact thing. lol

I don't think he'll have to worry about meeting anyone who will say the same thing and be a "total ****" about it.

Get grade 8 bolts. You'll have to figure out the size. You can eyeball the length, but for the thread pitch and size, you'll have to figure that out. I don't know about the hardware store you go to, but at my local one they have a little rack thing above the nuts/bolts shelves with a row of labeled bolts and you just screw the nut on until you find the bolt size/thread pitch that fits.

Yes, you'll have to drill holes.

thanks trust, so get some grade 8 bolts, then drill out the holes and i guess it'd be best to use a washer underneath too, huh?
