im his brother and we did the lowering and other braces i just didnt feel like drilling that day. as bill suggested i do believe we have some extra washers it came with but were only used with ABS brackets or civics i thnk but ill use those when we put it on. i already put the L brackets on when i put the shocks on so i dont have to unbolt those. i just have to drill the bracket holes and slap it on. problem was i had to remove the tie bar to get the bracket on and when he put the tie bar on initially (before i came home for thanksgiving) he said it was a bitch but i blieve thats cuz the OEM sway bar was causing the pressure and not letting the LCAs to line up very easily. im sure with the OEM bar off it might be easier to get the tie bar back on. plus i have some tips and tricks im going to try as well. if someone else wants to do it go ahead im soon to have my own car ill able to work on again.
