If you have stock engine mounts it should be a lot easier. I've got HASPORT mounts in mine so the subframe didn't drop as low as you'd like it, to slip the collars in. So a crowbar was used to lever it open.
The instructions are in jap...lol but we worked it out in the end. The photos are good! Just had to suss out exactly which bolts they are pointing out then place the collars in the CORRECT way. We worked out the collars should be inserted they way they are drawn in the instructions, so which ever way it faced up is how it goes in. I'm still unsure on how Collar 5 is meant to go in....I assume it's on the bottom of the subframe, not in it like the other 4. Plus it's way too big to go else where....*shrug*
Took about 30-40mins on a hoist.
If you could be bothered to spend the money and effort to install, it's worth it! Our cars are just so old, nice refresh.
I want to add, it's not like bracing up the car and making it more stiff/noisey. It instead makes the chassis more refined, much like a new gen car. i.e DC5/MK5 GTi. I know those cars are out of our league but as I have and do drive those cars extensively, it's the best I can describe it.
It feels "nicer". Haha such a bad explanation.
