So I purchased a UR strut bar from Throwdown perfomance. Input my year, make, and model and it have me this option for a strut bar. It comes in and......the holes for the bolts aren't lining up. Anyone out there that can help or that has a UR strut bar that can give me some advice on wtf im spose to do

maybe u put it on reverse? BTW one piece solid bars require for you to lift the car off the ground in order for them to line up, unlike the 3 piece POS on ebay
But without Pics who da F knows...good luck

I have a TRD bar that is one piece and never had to lift the car off the ground and I've taken it off many of times. Besides I've never even heard that.

Looks like the holes are way off I'm thinking its not the right for your car...

I just looked up the site and see it pictured on a aristo which it should still fit. contact the company and see if maybe they shipped you the wrong bar or if the bar is a defect.

you have to remove the shock nuts and then jack up the car. i had to do this to my GS.

ok, stop buying replica POS parts and buy real parts

this is true and it should fit afterwards, DONT jack the car up all the way, just enough that the threading is still up in the hole

So just because you've never heard of it, its not the proper way?

one piece struts DO NOT allow for the play that 3 piece do. This has to do with angle of studs once fully driven in (car sitting) and chassis flex, it can throw the alignment off when lining it up, the reason you have had no problem, well guess what...Luck..

Point me to the site that sells real parts and I will gladly purchase them.

obviously you don't know much about 3 piece vs 1 piece, there are far more 3 that 1, Cusco (what I have), UGO, Tein,,,, vs 1 TRD, do your home work 1st chief,

Greddy, Cusco, Carbing, Laile, bars your choice, and only $100~ or so. Just search the site for JZS161 and you'll find plenty.

At the top of the page you can change the currency to USD, most stuff ordered from rhdjapan comes in about a week using EMS or DHL and the shipping is very affordable.

Get legit Brand New parts quickly at reasonable prices from them, that coupled with all the US importers of used jdm parts there is still plenty if of authentic Aristo parts out there waiting.

and then your total ends up being 400 dollars after shipping and a bunch of other processing fees from rhdjapan..^^

Uh no, $52 shipped ems to my address. Go load up ur cart... there's usually discount codes available as well.

I've ordered tons of stuff from them over the years, no hidden fees.

A LSD diff which weighs a ****ton was only $80 to ship and got it in 3 days.

Do other places have inflated shipping and hidden fees, sure but not rhdjapan.

you yourself worded it that with one piece bars you need to jack the car . i have a one piece and never had to jack it up and helped others install their bar and never had to . All i said was i never heard of it what part of my post said it wasn't proper.
