Hey all, I got my 4 piece strut bar set in the mail today that I got off of ebay. A service manual is in the works, but I don't have one yet. Can someone provide me with the necessary torque values to install this set? FU/RU/FL/RL THanks

 

Tight as you can get em wihtout making the bolts into metal rods.

Here's a hit... make sure you have at least two jack stands and two jacks... you'll need the jack stands to prop up the front or rear of the car and the jacks to adjust the control arm and trailing arm to get the holes to line up after you get the bolts out of the rear control arms. Makes it all MUCH easier.

Sounds good, and thanks for the link!

 

i guess your the one that got the chrome nuespeed strut bar i was trying to get. bastard!!!. lol j/k. your were just willing to spend a little more than i was

 

Who, me? I got the $40 set from Ebay, and while the set is decent build quality, I doubt it's chrome let alone brand name.

 

a few days ago someone was selling the neuspeed strut bar that has 4 attatch points and is chrome. the auction got up to like $75 and i gave up. if you dont mind im curious to see what you got. can you post some pics or send the link from ebay?

 

I sent the link to your private messages, if that doesn't work for some reason then let me know.

 

ok, i see what it is now. i was considering going that way for the price. they seem like they would do the job. what do you think of the quality? and for sure those arent chrome, but they are polished aluminum

 

Build quality was exceptionally good for the price, they are super rigid which I think is important for a strut bar/tie bar set. I've heard of some ebay sets flexing and such, but not these. The hardware was good as well.
