Need some help

ok guys, i got the rear upper strut bar for my 91 crx, i need help installing it though for a few reasons.

1. when i slip the bracket over the shock tower mounts, the plastic pushes against the bracket making it impossible to fit a wrench or socket over the nut cuz it runs into the metal of the brakcet like the plastic is bending it, i dont wanna cut up my beatiful plastic so how can i solve this?

2. My sub box is huge and the bar will not fit over or around the box, so does anyone know if there is a way to raise or extend the bolts so that they will clear my box?


Thanks guys/gals, i want better handling

If it needs a little clearence you can dry to use washers to raise it up a little bit. I needed to use a few washers so my front sprint strut bar would clear my iceman cai.

I also use a long extension to get to it....thing is, you can't raise it too much, I'd guess no more than 1/4 inch...you either will have to return your bar, or remove the subs
