place the bar on to it just too see if it will fit & to see how sexy it will look after its done.
Jack up the car if you want, so its easier to rich from under later.

put the nuts & bolts in place on both side, screw it in a bit but don’t tighten it yet, just so you can have a little adjustment space to move around

after all 4 bolts & nuts are in place, reach under the car and hold the bolt with one spanner and tighten the nut on top with another spanner

repeat the same thing on the other sides, and when you finsh it should look some thing like this

nice diy man, did you notice much of a diffrence after you installed it?, also from what i can tell, its not connected to the struts? rather the chassis itself- is that right or am i just crazy?!

this one is a Chasis Brace.

[m3ntAL_l2]

yea i found that out after i upload the DIY, can mod plZ change the topiC's name? thanks
& yea theers is a differnce i think..... the stering feels more alive + softer when turnning

[Spoon-Accord]

my advice is it use a socket with ratchet.

open end and ring spanners sometimes make alot of errors :S
