ok, thanks in advance

I just picked up a used RMR Strut bar and when i went to install it, the bolts dont match up to the holes on the strut bar. What do I do?

Also, will the 04+ Lancer Ralliart strut bar fit an 03 Lancer OZ? I assume so because they have the same frame but i just want to be sure...

thanks again

you'll have to lift the car (by the chassis) to unload the suspension for it to line up, lots of people have had this problem, just 'encourage' it to fit

 

a few ideas are in this thread:

dude! you rock! a n00bie that searches!!!

 

sorry, i just hate the search engine on this site, i NEVER EVER find what i need.

before posting this thread i searched for "strut bar install" and found nothing useful...

 

anyone else have some strut bar install ideas? that damn RMR is a b*tch to get on...

I would rather get the Lancer Ralliart bar but i am not sure it it will fit my 03 OZ?

 

the ralliart bar would fit side-to-side, but there are some mount points welded onto the firewall that the OZ does not have

 

i agree witht he side to side fitment, i am also concerned about hood clearance...

also, i thought i was someone selling the same strut bar that is in the Ralliart without that firewall mount...?

 

then it wouldn't have to be a 'ralliart' bar per se, just lancer, PDXRalliart makes an awesome strut bar, much like RRM's, I have one on my car, installation was sooooo easy, took about 30 minutes for all 3 bars I bought

 

i have pdxralliart too. took me a total of 10 minutes for 2 bars

 

im glad PDX makes good bars, now how do i get that RMR bar on?

 

read my first post, try jacking the car up to get the load off the suspension, or maybe only one side, and it'll take a little 'encouraging' to get it on
