DIY trunk brace

[speedin]

naw, drilling isnt a big deal at all. that was pretty much the easiest part of the install!

how hard was the rear bolt install? u have any pix of the rear bolt access?

are you talking about in installing the ITR bar, and screwing those nuts in? i can try to get some pics for you if you want, just let me know exactly what you want. it wasnt a hard install just measure and drill VERY CAREFULLY!

ok, i did the CTR trunk brace to my car (mounts by spare tire on 2 pre-existing bolts) LINKY. now the itr one mounts where the article on the first page of this thread mounts it. i want pix of where the nut (outside of car) screws onto the bolt, like close in and far out shots.

Here's the best pic i could get so far. i lied underneath the rear bumper and looked up at the passenger's side bolt. i marked a few things so you can tell exactly where it is on your integra. ill see if i can get better pics, but i think this is as good as its gonna get.

click on the pic to make it bigger

shure u can buy them, dont know where? check ebay mabye? but just make it. and on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most noticeable) i give it a 6. daily driving u wont know its there but take it out on a run, and the back end feels more stable/planted in corners and keeps rear tire squeal to zero for me on oem tires and everything else stock. my rear ties used to squeal in hard turns but know no longer.

you can buy a DIY trunk brace here . he makes em so you dont have to do the work. the difference definitely isnt HUGE or anything, it was just more fun than performance for me honestly. try it!
