When I first tried to install my DC strut bar the 3 strut bolts on my KWv2's didn't line up with the strut bar holes.
I had to take off each wheel and turn the strut so the bolts lined up.

need to raise the front of the car, put it on jack stands, make sure the wheels are at least 2 inches off the ground..

after you unbolt the 6 shock tower bolts when the car is raised, you can shim the bolts as needed to align the DC brace..

with the wheels on the ground you aren't moving anything..

the stock shocks have .5 - 1.5mm of wiggle room when the bolts are loose and the wheels off the ground..

I wasn't sure how to line up the bolts, so I removed the wheel and took my KWv2 spanner wrench and started to lower the perch to take tension off the strut mount. On my first pull on the spanner wrench the strut/shock turned just enough and the 3 bolts aligned perfectly with the strut bar. Dumb luck.

I'am with bruno RAZORS EDGE great bar,it works with your engine cover in place, i hade mine airbrushed to match engine cover looks great as well,next mod, rear REAZORS EDGE strut bar. these bars are 4-point installation. i think thy are better than the DC,and Mopar. i payed $150.00 from HHP RACE.COM the rear is $150.00 aswell.

old skool here,if you have to lift the car and move the mounting bolts then you have shifted the angle of the suspension(not a good thing if you dont know what you're doing)I,on the other hand would have filed,or slightly enlarged the holes out on the strut bar mount holes so nothing on the suspension tops have moved from factory drillings
