Megan Racing strut bars..

[celicarace]

Hey I was wondering how I'd install the Megan racing front & rear strut bars.. there is no "battery replacement holder" that the Rod Millen front strut bar has.. it's all a plain bar. What would I have to do with the wiring on the battery??

How would I install the rear? I'm guessing I will have to cut through the openings back there..

move the batt. terminal to the side of the battery..
fold down the rears seat..unhook the locking seat latch..bolt the bar onto there..u might have to remove all the trunk plastic to get to the seat lock latch..i odn't know..i don't have a megan one..i have a trd one..

I don't think I will need to unhook the locking latch because it is a straight bar.. from shock to shock. It's not a 3pt rear strut like the TRD.

Ohh, is the rear strut suppose to mount somewhere else & not on the shocks?? :confused:

Do I have to move 2 wires on the battery??

Dang, I wish the battery was in towards the front bumper of engine bay like the Honda's..

ROFL! Stop being lazy! Take things out if you need to.

the rear Megan racing bar goes to the rear seat hook

You could get a shorter battery.

Ok thanks guys on the rear strut! I don't normally know of cars with rear struts mounted that way.. they are usually mounted on the shocks.

ummmm i'm pretty sure u suppose to put the latch in front of it..the bolt is long enough to hold both strut bar and locking latch on..even my trd strut fit with the latch..and i'm sure mine is thicker then ur megan piece..
