Tools Needed
14mm 3/8" Socket
3/8" Socket Drive
3" Extenstion
10mm Socket
Phillips Head Screw Driver
This is what you start with.
Start by removing the two rear engine covers.
Your Engine bay should now look like this.
Remove the two 14mm nuts that are toward the inside of the engine bay.
Place the strut bar over the exposed studs.
Secure the bar with the nuts that were removed. Tourque on the nuts is....29-37 Lb.ft.
The bar is now installed....about 3-5 mins.
You can now install the engine covers. Trimming of the underside of the cover will be needed.
Now your done.....

Road Race Rear Strut Bar
Tools Needed
3/8 Drive Ratchet
12" 3/8 Extension
10mm & 12mm Deep Sockets
Flathead Screwdriver
15/16 Open end Wrench
2 1/2 Diameter Hole Saw
Before
On the drivers side, remove the 10mm bolt for the sub bracket and the knob for the cargo net.
On the passenger side you have to pop off the little cover for the 10mm bolt.
Other side.
I didn't need to pull the seatbelt retractors off, but it will make it easier to reach inside. It's up to you.
Remove the nut closest to the inside of the vehicle on both sides.
For cutting the holes I measured from the top of the metal bracket straight down inline with the small hole. I measured down 3 1/2 inches, but just going 3 inches would have been better. Once you have it measured, use a pencil to mark the cover. The pencil will show up better than using a marker. Then start cutting.
Once you have the holes cut, adjust the bar so that it's as short as possible. This will allow you slide it far enough into on hole and then into the other. This way you don't have to take any of the coverings loose. Then, set one end of the bar over the strut stud, you will then need to turn the bar until the other side lines up with the other strut stud. Once you have it adjusted, and over both of the studs, reinstall the nuts and tighten them down. Now use the 15/16 wrench to tighten the large nut on the bar itself. Once everything is tight just rienstall all the other pieces as they came off.
When you're all done it should look something like this.
Enjoy!
