INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Place complete assembly over each shock tower and mark holes as shown in
Fig 1.1.
2. Drill 8 9/16” holes. This is the most critical part of the installation. Be very precise
with the hole placement. If one hole is not in the correct place or at the incorrect
angle, it will be diffi cult to install the mounting plate. Be sure the holes are drilled
perpendicularly to the mounting surface. Starting with a carefully placed pilot hole
will be helpful.
3. Insert pre-assembled threaded fastener and tool into a hole.
4. Hold the nut and tighten allen head bolt. This compresses the threaded fastener
and locks it in place. The insert should be flush when finished. Refer to Fig.1.2
5. Back out bolt, replace the threaded fastener and repeat for the other 7 holes.
6. Bolt brackets down with the supplied allen head bolts.
7. Tighten two M12 bolts underneath each swivel joint. Refer to Fig1.3
8. Tighten the two hinge bolts. Refer to Fig1.3
9. Rotate carbon fi ber bar to pre-tension outward.
10. Tighten locknuts on each end against the bar. Refer to Fig1.3
11. Once the bar has been set, place the supplied APR Motorsport sticker on the
driver’s side of the bar. Refer to Fig1.1
