Trunk Torsion Bar Installation

I have recently switch from a winged trunk to an rs trunk and was wondering how to install the RS Torsion Bars. Also if someone has the part number of the RS pieces I would appreciate it. Thanks

What color are the torsion bars you have now? It seems like the GSR/MR/RS all have the same torsion bars in common, the only number differences Im showing is between these --


LEFT
GREEN PAINTING - MR991365
NO PAINTING - MR573003

RIGHT
YELLOW PAINTING - MR991366
RED PAINTING - MR573004

Im coming up with these same options even when I 'filter' the catalog w/ RS, MR or GSR.

I put all those numbers in the link below so you can see pricing. Im sure these only have a little mark of color on them.

Mine are white (same color as my car) as far as I can tell. I am not worried about that as its not something you can see. I will check that link out now. Thanks

I believe the RS has a different one (that has less pressure) for lack of the spoiler. I am not positive on this though. The stock(GSR) torsion bars are too much for the trunk lid without the spoiler.
