does anyone have experience installing rear strut bars on their wrx 02-04.??? please post pics or give me specific details.. thanks a lot.

 

take out your rear seat, and this will lead to what you seek!

gagan.. on scooby mods they only had instructions for the wagon which is very different in the rear... my sedan has no comsmetic doors like the wagon does for the rear struts...

also i tried to remove the rear seats, i could only take off the bottom seat but the back seats are like impossible to get off...

where are the bolts for the back seats? i looked everywhere

any more info? thanks a lot guys

 

u have to unbolt the bottom of the seat, which is located near the foot area, then u take off those seats and u will see the bolts that bolt down the back support of the seats and after that u can take it off.

 

azn i did take off the bottom seats first.. then i got the 4 bolts on the bottom of the back seats.. after that i still couldnt budge the back seats, only the bottom could budge a bit but it felt like more bolts are bolting the top back of the back seat. can u tell me where the bolts are??? thanks man

 

Next time, please write more appropriate subject lines.

 

there are only 4 at the bottom of the back part
after u remove those, pop ur that seat up like towards the roof. there are three hooks that keep it to the frame
once u disemgage those, the back part should be free
and under that on the sides is where u wanna put the strut brace through

 

You'll also need to take apart the strut brace to mount it. Each side will have to be bolted to the strut tower, then the crossbrace attached back to them. And, you can use the GC Impreza instructions on scoobymods for most things if they aren't listed under the WRX part.
