proper strut bar installation......

[frostee]

hey there peeps, i'm gonna be putting in some front and rear strut tower bars in my car but i'm not sure exactly how to do it so my frame gets the most of it, i guess there are two ways; i can either put it on real tight pulling the upper frame inward or i can do it so it pushes the upper frame outward..... i'm not sure wich one it is...... and is it the same procedure for both front and back?? Lemme know when ya can please, thanx.

u ahve a h22 powered hatch? there are thousonds of questions waited to be answered about that swap.....prepare to be bombarded

Theres only 1 way to put them on, on the strut tower bolts and torque them to spec.

yea i know about the putting it on and torquing the bolts down to specs but i'm not sure whether i'm supposed to pull the top bolts of the strut assembly inwards towards the engine bay or outwards..... does it really matter..... i just want my frame to have the best support for that monstrous motor..... thanx

if you really wanna go all out, an h22 is the most you're gonna get, and expect to spend atleast 5000 on the swap and the mounts were just relocated...... not an easy job....
