If you are talking about the 3 nuts on the top of the struts - then you are fitting a strut bar - and yes if it is a strut bar you are talking about then that is all you do - just undo the nuts and wind the ends in or out to make sure they reach from one strut to the other perfectly and then do the nuts back up again.

See the pic of my strut bar!!

Sway bars go under the car.

I can certainly confirm they are worth installing.. The VRX has sway bars as stock...but I have fitted (with Manuals and Blakes help) a frount strut bar as per pic above...and a huge increase in performance and decrease in frount end roll !!!
:p

I agree with Manual and BlackVRX. I was in the process of doin my suspension in my car. I had the strut brace and was waitin on the springs so I just put it in and I noticed the difference straight away. it corners like it is on rails now.
GREAT MOD

anyone can explain the physics of how these strut bars work?

Ok the Blue Brace part stops the yellow shocks from forcing in the Green body...
There fore it keeps the two strut towers apart ... better grip as both wheels are staying on the ground and the correct angel at all time.

Well thats it basically :D

Hiya solaja

CTHULHU has answered your query - (but i suggest contacting blake for a great price on that one)

The resonator needs to be roatated about 30 degrees - which is fine and has no impact on the workings of it.

and it rotates easily enough.

I know as I fitted the strut bar to Black VR-X's TJ VR-X (funny that)

Easy!!
