Exactly, one jack, two jack stands, one socket wrench with socket, 15 minutes at most.

 

I think all you need to do is to jack up the two front end, unbolt 2 bolts that hold the tie bars, put the tie support bar in, bolt the two bolts, and taorque to the specc. However, if you have fitment issues, you might need to eapand the hold on the tie support bar. This is the simplest bolt-on.

 

thanks y'all. stuff would fall out if not properly supported like the whole axle popping off the trans when trying to swap out springs.
hope to get'er done.

 

Could this be a reason for the window cracking? Noticed this part of the seal coming out when I took my cowl off to do my coilover.

 

Possibly. Mine wasn't like that. Mine was perfect, but still cracked. However, the new glass with all of the suspension and now EBC 3G rotors and Hawk HPS pads still is holding up. The car is a TON of FUN to drive.

 

hahaha after all this time i still havn't install my braces!!!!

lazy me....

post some pix pls I want to see how the 4 point ladder and rear sway looks after install!!!

hehe =)

 

Look back through the thread and you will find my pic of the ladder brace.

 

Don't feel too bad, I haven't installed any of mine yet either...

 

Thanks Jim I see it......

anyone with rear sway installed???

Java^FiT - have you install your N1 suspension yet???

 

Nope not that either although I think I am going to try and be ambitious this weekend and install all bars, suspension, mud flaps and change my oil...

 

Tiger Tuning I guess I've waited long enough for my bars and they are not delivered nor even tracking number yet.

May I ask for a refund instead since I've waited that long and no response so far ?

 

I don't remember getting a tracking number but they did refund the money I paid for one part that they couldn't ship... I would certainly get in touch with them and see what they have to say about it... If they don't respond you can get in touch with PayPal and let them know about your problem... There is a time limit on how long you can wait before contacting PayPal for a refund so get in touch with them soon.

 

I tried Paypal, and Paypal said that I could not dispute the case after the $ was paid for more than 45days.

 

Did you try to call Tiger directly?

Sorry dude, I guess I never noticed your question. Yes, the extra pieces (kinda like short L brackets) are for the ladder brace. No, instructions not included!

If you haven't already figured it out, they fit in the channel on the backside of the frame. They secure the nut so you can tighten each of the 4 bolts since there's no way to get a wrench on the backside of that channel. You use one long and one short bracket on each side because the access hole is not centered between the mounting points. You can see a little of the red tab poking through one of the access holes in that frame channel in these pics:





I hope that helps a bit!

 

I finally noticed you posted a question to me about the ladder brace install a few threads back - I just answered it. Oops!

 

I have a GE8 Fit and am interested in buying the whole kit. Are you still offering it discounted? Also, do you guys accept check of moneyorder?

 

No I have not tried call them directly as I'm a overseas customer who's waiting for my bars to arrive at my freight forwarder.

 

Well it took almost a month to arrive, but I got my front lower tie-end bar a few weeks ago, and put it on last week. It didn't come with instructions (not necessary, though) and where there's a KMR sticker on the bars in other photos, mine had a rectangular glue outline where the KMR sticker apparently once was. It also didn't come with a Tiger Tuning sticker as I've seen in other photos. None of these things are important, but are odd inconsistencies.

That said, the bar itself made a noticeable improvement, and I love it. I am a little worried, though, because I have been scraping it on bumps and dips. Once it happened going over a crest at 30-35 mph, and felt like a pretty severe impact. I pulled over to make sure I didn't lose my front end.

Should I be worried about damage to my control arms or endlink bolts over time, as the bar smacks and scrapes pavement? Has anyone else had any issues with it scraping, and any more sever issues stemming from that?

 

Umm, it looks like your a bit too slammed. That's why you have these issues.
