How do I install a rear lower tie bar on my Si? Do I have to jack the car up in order to do this or do I just leave it on the ground?

 

I jacked my car up a few inches to give me room to slide under the car. It also relieves spring pressure so that when you remove the inner LCA bolt, the LCA will stay in place, for the most part. It's pretty easy. 10 minute job at most with air tools. 20 mins if you gotta use hand tools. Don't try to take the nut off that the bolt threads into, because it's welded to the subframe.

 

If it requires removal of the lower control arm (lca) bolts...yes you will have to jack it up. For safett use jackstands while you are under there.
