I'm working on my ankle and my father wont pay for anything like that. I have considered selling this accord now for an STI but after trade in it would still exhaust much of my savings. Not to mention increase insurance.

While putting my strut tower on, I sheared one of the studs in half:

Tapped the sheared stud out, but there's a cover so it couldn't fall out completely. So I ended up having to take the entire strut assembly out. Sorta hard since I was by myself but not too bad. Anyways, luckily the fronts springs aren't that big, so I zip tied the spring so it couldn't move much. Backed the top nut off, then took the top hat off. As soon as I took the rubber/plastic cover backing thing off the hat, the sheared stud fell right out.

I figured I would just put my own nut and bolt in there as a replacement, so I took one of these:

And shaved the head down to the size of the other ones, which can be seen on the sheared stud. So I did that, put it all back together, put my own nut on, and all is perfect yet again :)

I've never really looked at your car till now I don't think, but it's very clean. I can't wait to see it dropped.

Bar finally installed. Had to use a lot of my own bolts and nuts due to the guy including pretty much nothing that originally came with it.

And.. It is dropped, a little, I just need wheels to fill the gap. At least that's my theory. Either way ill probably be getting a better setup soon, not too soon, but soon.
