^ lmk if you have trouble lining everything up right. as I said before mine tried to get difficult with me, I had to put the firewall nuts on first then the strut towers.


I never made that mistake. :p Thanks to this forum though! lol I actually listen to advice people give me.
Like you said, research twice buy once. Or procrastinate on purchasing anything for so long you change your mind 7 times. I do that nonstop. haha

Tyler, what i did was I fitted the passenger side first firewall and shock bolt, then did the driver side firewall. The bolts for the shock didn't want to go in, but I had to use a rubber mallet to hit it 2-3 time for it to completely fit in.
The screws weren't tighten all the way, just enough to hole their place and don't slip out. Oh I also jacked my car up since people said it helped that way. 10 minute installation and $55 dollars spent happily.


Here's the strut. Haven't driven it yet after installation, but will later today.

Looks good :D
One of these days I'm going to take mine out and repaint it. That damn clip holding a windshield wiper fluid hose hit it and scratched some paint off. Now it looks like doody because I had to touch up the spot.

Lol I might want to polish mine, but then it would be hard to keep it clean.

I'm now searching for a black or polished neuspeed now.

You should've seen all surface rust on the one I got. The previous owner had it polished, and it just got covered in rust. It looked like a mess, but it easily sanded off. But still, seems like too much "keeping up" of it.

How much did you get it for? Was it from aristole?

If i cant find a neuspeed by the end of summer. Imma get the 20mm rear sway bar and some new endlinks.

You also installed your rsb with the strut at the same time right?

I think 50 shipped from Artistotle.

and yes I installed the rsb right after the strut bar. I wanted to actually KNOW I felt a difference, instead of just thinking I can kinda feel it a little stiffer. so I just put both on then went for a drive.
