Aim: to reduce flux on the chassic
Required: Deep socket set, marker, drill and a grinder
Step 1: undo the nuts on the rear suspensions (2 on each side). you need to use a deep socket set.
Step 1a: if you still have the plastic trim in the rear, you have to cut a small hole with the grinder. ( i dont have the picture for it anymore, but once you have the bars, and u will see what needs to be cut.)
Step 2: place the strut bar on, then marks the bottom 4 holes with a marker
Step 3: take the strut out, and drill the 4 holes, be extra careful not to slip. and drill a hole slightly smaller than the bolts supplied
Step 4: place the bar back on and bolt it up. bolt the suspension nuts first. then the bottom 4.

Review:
I think it looks great. it did stop the rear from flexing as i cant hear the twisting noise anymore when i turn. and you can still put the spare wheel in the back.
IMO, i think 2 point strut was enough as the bottom bolts will not be strong enough to act as a brace on the 4-point. unless it was welded to the chassic. the other complain i have is that it is white, and very easy to scratch and dirty.
and reduce a lot of space.
