hey, im having a little bit of difficulty installing the strut brace.... Can somebody give me some insight on how to get it put in?

 

unbolt the strut tower nuts, put bar on, put the nuts back on...

 

Put everything there with the nut from the bar loose. Align everything, do a mark with a pen/marker on the end pieces. Remeove everything. You can have the nuts from driver side tighten between the end piece and bar. Be sure that it will be where you've marked it previously. Install that assembly on the car. Then put the passenger side end plate on the strut tower and bolt it to the strut brace center pieces. You're done

Let me know if you need more help

 

Is it recommended that I use a torque wrench, and if I do what should I set it at? My roommate just installed both the front and back DC strut bar on his Eclipse and didn't use a torque wrench. He just tightened 'em back down.

If I do need to use a torque wrench, how much do they run?

Can't wait until I get this in the mail!

 

You do not need a torque wrench to install this piece. Just use common send to tighten the bolts, not to hard cause the strut towers studs ar 8mm so they can broke off if you apply to mutch pressure

 

So does this actually help the handling the cobalts? Im thinking about buying one when i get my balt i know i have seen them on GTOs. What does it do keep the body from swaying?

 

Thank you for your interest in MRZ Performance products. The strut brace will eliminate flex in the front upper unibody during hard cornering witch will result in an overall better steering feel. It does this by joining the 2 strut tower together and making them a solid assembly since the strut towers are made out of sheet metal and flex easily under load.

Hey Guys. Sorry for the delay. Here are 2 pics I took. As I mentioned before I need to move the washer tube and the cables below to enhance the appearance of the bar. I noticed a huge difference in cornering.

 

Hey Mag. What I did was assemble the bar using thread locker. Do not tighten anything at this point just ensure it's loose enough to move around.

Remove the 4 inside strut bolts using a standard wrench. I think it was a 15mm (It's metric anyway). Mount the strut bar by pushing it through from the passengers side underneath the overhang and above the brake fluid resevoir. The small plastic thing that sticks up from that resevoir was a bit in the way so I just pushed it down to seat the bar properly. Once you get the bar seated screw the bolts back on so that it sits tight and mark a line where the bars meet (Use a pencil). Then remove the bar completely. Tighten just the drivers side as tight as possible. I used loctight on the bolts provided. Then put the bar back on. The passenger side can be tightened while on the car. All Data recommends 20 Nm (15ft lb) for the bolts but I just wrench tightened them.

 

Just ordered mine today..

Quick question, has anyone installed this on a 2.2 yet? I wanted to know what type of difference it makes in the steering and cornering. I got it to help out with the AutoX

 

thanks Markus

 

I would suspect that you would feel more of the suspension work. It's very difficult to explain with words. You'll know you've got a bar because it just feels stiffer.

 

i was just looking at your site.do you or can you make the Spark Plug Cover and Steel Fuel Rail Cover for the redline?thanks

 

Thanks for your order! you'll notice a difference right away if you use the strut brace for auto-x witch takes the suspension and chassis to it's limit. Like Markus said, the car will fell stiffer resulting a better feel and control of the car.

We are looking at getting a Redline over here soon to take the necessary measurements but there is not mutch Redline owners around here... The Fuel Rail Cover and Spark Plug Cover will be EXACTLY the same design, except for the Cobalt SS emblem that we will change for REDLINE or ION REDLINE, the fuse box is not the same as the Cobalt however... The Fuse Box Cover would have the Saturn emblem on it.

I was wondering if a Redline owner would be able to send us his OEM fuse box cover so we can do the right design for them, this owner would get a FREE fuse box cover It would be easier for us than get to find a Redline over here and ask him to leave the car for a day or so...

Let me know via PM if you are interested or if you know somebody who would be interested. Thanks!

Thanks for the great comments guys! it's always good to have feedback from the end users

 

Just got home from Myrtle Beach and waiting for me was the strut bar. I just installed it, and it was a little bit tricky but it was the first thing I've done to my car. Plus I just got my wisdom teeth pulled about 6 hours ago, so I'm still feeling that. All in all it's a great product. I will post up pictures when I get back to my house in Buffalo (forgot my camera cables). Thanks MRZ!!!

 

thanks for the great comments, enjoys your strut brace now :P

post the pictures over here if you have som time
