you have to remove the top shock nuts on one side, jack youre car up, so you seperate the car from the shock, place the strut bar bracket over the shock area, then lower youre car and adjust the bracket so it fits over the shock threads. once you get the bracekt wholes all lined up, lower your car, then tighten the nuts.

When I installed mine, I didn't have up the car.
I just removed the stock strut bars, installed the new one and put the stock ones over that one.

Here's Turbocaenne's

You don't need to jack up the car.

It just has to be on a level surface.

the instructions for my neuspeed said to jack it up because it wont fit if you dont. Instructions said this puts a load on the bar at all times, which translates to better rigidity and weight transfer

That's what mine said as well.

- Just remembered, ours are 1 piece so that kinda adds to the level of difficulty.

but like i said the 1 piece design is a better design than ones with seperate brackets, so its worth it, it functions better
