I just wanted to whine and warn people.

When you get your Ractive/whatever brand strut tower bar, it might be wise to trash the bolts that come with it. You know, the one with the Allan Keyed heads. They're a pain, and after I stripped mine and fought with them for a couple hours, I realized that I'd be much better off to just throw some good old handy dandy hex head bolts on there that I could tighten up with a wrench. So save yourself the trouble. Do it right, do it pink. Er.. With bolts.

Will be starting a worklog soon and post pics of the install. Found some black bolts with black nuts(omg he's advocating interacial porn ). Looks awesome.

how about using the right tool!!

I was waiting for that kind of response

I just posted this thread mostly for fun and to see what kind of input I'd get. But really, I don't have an allen key that big.

you can buy them at any auto parts store to connect to a rachet... it's either an 8 or a 9.

It's okay, I found a couple black bolts with matching black nuts that I think look better and will be more convenient to take off if need be.

allen bolts look more trick.

I like my black bolts. Maybe I'll post pics.

I was mainly annoyed that Ractive supplies the allan keys for their shifter knobs but doesn't bother to for their strut bars.

Not a biggy though. Just felt like whining so I could be cool like auto service customers.

Chrome Hex Bolts are Uber Sexy. Phosphated hex bolts are ghetto.

'nuff said.
