just got off the phone, there are two clips that need to be removed and then you pull away the black plastic cover, put the bar in there and tightent the two bolts and put back the plastic cover. The guys at AJ say its easy but their pro's too. but from the looks of it you can see the clips he's talking about in the picture and the bolts as well.

Get the strut bar you'll notice a difference because the fits stock suspension is so soft.

Install is easy. should only take you no more then 15 minutes. BTW, I would recomend the J's Racing Lower tie bar, which is what I have have and am very happy with.

Also, you might want to get a front and rear strut bar along with it as well.

It's doesn't really "recline" it just gets moved back a few inches so that you can position the seats into Refresh mode.

If you had to choose only one...
Lower tie bar or front strut bar, which would be more beneficial?

Tough question, but I would think the lower tie bar would make more of a performance difference than the upper.

I've got my eye on the Spoon Sports lower bar and J's Racing upper bar/engine damper combo.

Spoon Front Upper Strut Bar

Can anyone tell me if this product is made from steel or aluminum? I am looking for a steel fron strut bar to modify and I cannot weld to aluminum.

Anyone have the DC Front Strut Bar installed?

I saw it for sale at jhpusa.com and I'd like to see some pics of it installed if possible. Thank you.

if you're looking for a functional bar. Then I suggest you look elsewhere. If it's anything like their rear lower tie bars then they are for the bling factor only. The flex a lot but look nice.

how much are they going for? I'm sure you can find a better one for not much more.
