Ok, I got a rear strut in like a bargain deal with some wheels and stuff and I need to put it on. Do I have to take out the rear AAS motors or is there a way around that? If I do have to take them out, should I just take out the whole System, front and back....... What else do I need to do to put the strut bar on, any tips on cutting away carpet/ speaker tower? thanks alot for any help

http://www.1300cc.com/ Scott98T2 has a write up on it. Very easy. And what do you mean take out you AAS Motors?

Thanks, I went to go put on the thing that bolts to the strut, and it doesnt look like it fits the with auto adjusting suspention stuff, (i have a gxl) so i dont know if there is a way around that, so they i can leave them on there? or just remove them

 

O yea forgot about that.......umm does it even still work? lol I wouldjust take it off.

 

Yeah, it doesnt work, but i didnt know if there is any problems with taking it off. Should i take off the front motors too?

 

I would take it all off....

If you want to keep the AAS, I think it will fit. You will have to remove the AAS to get the strut bar on, but if memory serves me correctly, there should be no problem just re-attatching it after the bar has been installed. Give it a whirl...

 

I might just try that nick, thanks, its worth a try anyway.
and the write up on 1300cc.com is pretty damn good thanks.

 

Yea Scott has some good wrtie ups

And yea like the other Nick said lol......you can keep the AAS but if it doesnt work then why keep it?

Nick

 

Remove the AAS all together...chances are they don't even work at all. Use the existing plugs, that attach to the AAS Motor(s), for 12v Ignition switches for whatever.

*edit* former AAS on my car was absolutely useless!

 

Good idea Silverrotor!

FWIW, I use the Left Shock Tower Plug for my electric fan and the other for my RPM Switch to activate my Auxilliary Ports...

If you are facing the plug, there are 6 pins. Use the center top one, closest to the push tab. When you do, use a 1/4" spade. Fini!

 

Well, its installed, I recomend getting a dremel if your gunna do this, I dont have one so I had to settle for a drill and a 4 inch disc grinder. It wasnt hard, just getting the interoir all apart was a bitch, it was easier putting it back together though. cutting the carpet was wierd aswell, kinda hard to find where to make the cut. but I guessed on the where to cut the speaker boxes and it worked fine. but yeah, it handles better, I would recomend getting both front and rear strut bar, I noticed when I got my front one, that the rear end kicked out more due to the front end being a little more well plated, now they both stick pretty damn well. plus it looks cool........ thanks for the help, oh yeah, I took the aas motors off
