I just got my rear ractive strut bar and took off the back speaker covers and took off the bolts to the shocks, and my strut bar base disk holes arent in the right spots! If I put it on one side the bar will stick out towards teh ****pit. I hope someone understands what Im saying. Any help would be greatly appreciated I really want to get this in for the looks/performance. Thanks all!

Hey man! Give me an email with your phone nubmer. I can walk you thru it. cjthor@hotmail.com

So, did you install it yet ?

No I Looked at it more and cant figure out for the life of me how to fix the problem. Cjthor is supposed to call me and help me, I think he knows the problem. Ill let you all know once I figure it out.

I had a similar problem with my front one, so we had to bend the bracket parts to fit, was hard cause i wanted it to still be a good fit and rigid, if you're gonna have to bend it, do it right and make it snug.<p>[ January 14, 2003: Message edited by: 992mmx3 ]</p>

Yeah, those jerks, the rear one off of ebay worked great though.

hmm... I bought mine from carpro.com, anyone else have to mess with the rear strut bar to make it fit?

if all goes well, i'll let you know tomorrow how my ractive one fits.

does anyone have pics of there ractive rear strut bar install? Id like to see the mounting bracket of the bar and the car, anythign would be helpful and greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

i'm just throwing this out there but is it possible that you put the left bracket on the right side and right bracket on the left side by accident ? would it matter? is it 2 left brackets or somthing, maybe they screwed up? again i'm just guessing no real experience here...

Dude, that sux!<p>Talk about ****ty quality.<p>I got both my cars off of eBay and I put them on in about 15 mins no prob.<p>Are those mounts for some OTHER car because those angles are not even close dude. They should be perpendicular to the base mounts and they aren't.<p>I'd send them back.<p>~A
