ciggys and drink
Installing ur rear strut bar/brace for ek noobies ( easily same thing as other hondas eg,dc,crx etc )

second
Remove speaker grill covers and speakers if you have any, theyl just be phillips screws holding them in easy done.
you will then be able to view the top of your strut and the 2 bolts you need to remove.
carefully tuck any wires close to the trim because you will need to cut or melt through the plastic.
third
measure or mark a rectangle shape so its visible and enough room to loosen the 2 x 14 nuts and fit the strut bar. i personally didnt care so i just freehanded it. Then with your weapon of choice cut/melt through...i used a old soldering iron which loves melting through plastic ;) but if you want to be neater you can use a knife and measure what your doing.

fourth
you will see 2 14mm nuts..you need to loosen and take these off so you can fit your strut bar. Do all these steps to the other side then place your strut bar how you want it.

fifth
place the 14mm nuts back on and tighten. i didnt use a specific torque but being suspension as tight as possibly fit without damaging it.. i personally couldnt get much leverage from tightening through my cut out so i used an extension and from where the speaker would sit i tightened them. Tighten your strut bar links if it has any.
sixth
Place everything back together and roadtest. I felt a big difference over bumpy roads and cornering. I also installed my engine strut bar also have a b pillar and lower tie bar strut bars to go in.
