what brackets are used to bolt in the cross bars? or are they just bolted on top on each other?

Just to clarify before I place my order...

Which model of each bar do I need?
2 x cpb-cv92 (c-pillar and shock tower) <---(Fit/Civic/Integra?)
2 x cpb-cv88 (cross braces) <---(TC/AE86/CRX/Integra/240sx/GTi?)

Thanks for all the info I can't wait to try this!

i recommend new (longer) bolts on the 4 main joints since you're stacking them.

for those that want to know which bolts i used,

4 - 3/8" x 1.5" bolts (for cross braces)
4 - 3/8" x 2" bolts (for main joints where you stack the mounts)
8 - 3/8" hex nuts
16 - 3/8" cut washers
4 - 1/2" cut washers (for c-pillar bar)

and remove locking nuts on the bars as needed to make it all fit.

anyone who needs help or more clarification, feel free to ask

i'll let you know which ones you need, but you dont need to modify anything for them to fit. Your seats still recline with these on since your shocks are farther back in the car.
