EKs dont have holes ot put rear struts on.

You have to cut a hole thru the plastic interior / carpet

I know - ek/em's seem all the same but Nicks description of this "bar" was pretty poor lol.

2 holes? on each side? because the rear strut/tower brace/bar (the one that goes up top yo!) should just go straight onto your rear shock top mounts, as in undo the bolts, whack the bar on, and re-tighten.
