Of course.

thank you gtman was concerned about it hitting the engine cover since it sits higher than the 1.5

A member here had it on their 2.0 as you can see ...

I’ve installed solid one piece bars on my cars the past 15 years. I've always done them on level ground and they’ve been fine. The only bar I've seen mention lift install is the Tanabe.

If you want to put the bar on with the wheels off the ground I guess you can. Just make sure you torque the bolts tight when your wheels are on the ground.

Sweet, I'll just take it with me to work and throw it on when I've got even pavement to work with then. Thanks gtman

Make sure you torque the bolts up to about 40 ft/lbs.

That was mine Ultra Racing is the only strut bar that fit my 2.0 without touching the engine cover....

yes, it clears 2.0 engine cover, I sold it to a friend of mine, but getting myself another one soon, so far I tried 3 bars - the one that ProCivic sells (don't remember brand), cusco and UR... UR is the only one that fits so far and one piece as well. So go for it, you won't regret.

Put the ultra racing strut bar on this morning, feeling a little uneasy about the limited threads remaining

 

[gtman]

As long as you torqued it up, (40lb ft) it isn't going anywhere. For peace of mind just check the torque on the bolts every so often. I know it looks funky but it's fine.

thank you gtman, may end up putting some loctite blue on

Have you tried pushing your car a bit to see how it feels with the bar on? Steering should feel better and left right lane changes should feel tighter.

just got back from a 40 mile trip, don't like it at all. Added oversteer and made the car twitchy. Selling for $100 for anyone interested

 

[gtman]

How could it add oversteer?

steering felt a lot more sensitive/precise after putting it on, this is my purely SUBJECTIVE view, I'm sure 99% will like it, here is the link to classified add if anyone interested on a 5 hour old strut bar. I think part of the issue is also the horrendous suspension when using stock shocks and D2 springs, perhaps this bar accentuated the soft spring and shock? I am curious now if this bar would be better suited with bc coilovers. If I don't sell this I may end up keeping it and trying it when the bc coilovers come in
