So I had some time off this morning and decided to install my strut bars.

Front- Took 20 minutes, easy.

Rear- Had no Idea where to start, ripped out the interior but no luck.

You guys with the rear strut bar installed can you help me with some tips and maybe photos?

Thank you all.

yeah im having trouble with mine too so i decided to keep it off till i change the whole thing but skunk said that you have to be inside the trunk so it will weigh down the car... i havent finished mine but i hope skunk can clarify and hopefully have a picture with installation...

that rear bar F'ing SUCKS! You gotta remove all the trim inside the trunk/hatch area.

You just have to remove all the pieces and then install the bar and then put it all back together.

That part is the easy part compared to ripping out the interior pieces LoL

The reason I ask is because I wanted to tighten it to the correct specs. Tightening it as tight as you can is ok, I just want it to be done right the first time.

Taking out those pieces sucks real bad.
