I assume you have one for your EG civic....and cannot fit it ?

Well - i will show u a quick picture - I have a CARBING rear brace...which in design is very similar to the SPOON item ( and exact the same as say as a MUGEN rear bar methinks) ....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/bennjamin/REAR.jpg

...as u can see....you must cut open the sides of the rear towers , exposing enough room to slide in the brace arms.
A little DIY job...but worth it :)

Did that answer ur question ?

...also, you need funny little asian mod to use your dodgy hacksaw blade to cut away part of these rear towers plastic inserts... while ripping skin off his knuckles in the process... ;)

It's always good to be careful when cutting out these inserts, try using a template or sketch lines so that you don't end up with as shite looking a job as umm *cough* us.

push the strut bar down on the plastic till the top of the strut sits where it is supposed to on the chassis... use a small saw to cut away the edges and voila... easy.
