S13 coupe: how does the Cusco rear STB fit?

[locski]

Is there cutting involved?

Anyone have pics?

Thanks.

It just bolts on to your strut towers.  No cuttin.  Just take off the two 14mm nuts on each side and put it on.

Thanks for the response, but if you look at the coupes, you can't see the shock towers in the rear.

Anyone else?

You have to remove your rear deck to install. It's just held in by clips so you basically just yank it out. Then, you'll be able to see how to install it. I think for the coupe you put the end pieces on from the top and then the bar attaches to them from underneath.

Rear deck = do you mean the floor of the trunk or the part where the rear speakers are sitting on?

Thanks.

I mean the part with the speakers.  Actually I wasn't very clear...there are 2 layers to your rear deck I guess.  You take the top part off.  This will expose your speakers and shock towers which are attached to bottom (metal) layer of the rear deck.

does the bar go thrugh the speaker grill part like s14's? i dont think so. on the s13 coupe there should be a rubber cap over the 2 12mm bolts which is what i belive they are in the rear  not 14mm but i could be wrong i havent done anything with my rears in a while. all you need to do is go in the trunk and remove those bolts and put it on.

okay i just did this  a few weeks ago.

i had to remove all the trim around the trunk, a few screw and clip. the fastbacks have access panels but we dont.

you cannot put the trunk trim back!!!!!1

if you really want to you will have to cut the plastic. i was thinking about it but i just decided to leave it out.

Also, cusco also has a triangle bar available, if you are talking about that one then i know there is someone with one here i've seen their pics.

BTW, i love the strut bars, they make everything better, everything

ARG!  Thats right, the s13 coupe's shock towers aren't nearly as tall as the s14's so you don't have to do the whole thing I just said.
