You got a coupe or hatch? Bracing may be different.

I got a hatch with ebay strut bars front and back. Had them for years with no real problems or issues except a couple of nut get loose from time to time. But I plan on upgrading to the Cusco Triangulating Bar in the back and DC Sports upper strut bar in front.

Peep my sig for my setup. It's still a work in progress though...

Whoops sorry.

Back when i had money, i bought the Cusco front bar from Phase2.

I'm sure another bar with a firewall brace would be 'better' but, whatever.

This thing kicked every *** of every person who ever looked at it.

And of course i had absolutely no fitment or clearance problems whatsoever.

Phase2. Pay them all your money they will deliver the best parts (cusco) at fair prices, and they will ship the stuff asap.

its not that hard. just assemble the bars. and trace where the bottom place needs to be and mark the holes. then drill it. have a friend get under the car while you bolt up the bottom plate. gl
