i looked in the install guide but there is not guide for the tanabe bar, i didnt get a tie down bar with the strut bar so does that mean i just leave the stock one on?

yes leave the stock one on or you could get a hypermotive battery tie down .. or cheaper way is just to file the stock battery tie down a bit if you want ![[Linked Image from hidforum.com]](http://hidforum.com/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif) here's a picture of the tiedown bar in Sultan's car ![[Linked Image]](https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/attach/profile/8336-6.jpg)

here's two links to help you out and decide  anybody have issues w/tanabe strut bar? https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/thread.f_1869893599_0_collapsed_5__1.htmlalso.. I have the Tanabe bar, here is what you need to do to get it to fit right: Get a battery tie from Hypermotive, stock is too big: www.hypermotive.net [ hypermotive.net] Turn the battery terminals 90 degrees The rest is really just common sense, but do note that the bar its self sits at all most a 45 degree angle in order to fit between the battery terminals and the tie posts. Other wise it will smash into both and you will not be able to close the hood.
