Using this Cusco rear strut tower bar is straightforward. First, for installation, you'll have to remove a stapled piece from the lower part of the side cover to fit the side brackets. Once installed, it'll start working to enhance your car's performance right away. When you're driving, especially during hard cornering, you'll feel the difference in handling and balance. As for maintenance, since it has corrosion - resistant powder - coated end plates, you don't need to worry too much about rust. But it's a good idea to regularly check the bar for any signs of damage or loose bolts. If you notice any issues, have it inspected by a professional mechanic.
