Okay here is the dilema, if it can be called one.
I have a bone stock 93 Civic DX Hatchback. What is bone stock is the suspension. I just have a swap, and thats all. Riding on 195/55/15 tires.
I plan to drop my car next year in the summer.
My uncle gave me a front tower strut bar. Its the cheapo ones that are on eBay. Hey its free, so I took it.
Problem is that it has pivot points. I figure I'd just take it and see what it could do. Doesn't hurt to try it and learn what strut bars "could" do.
Now should I just try it the way it is, or is there a way to weld on a mount to it to get rid of the pivot points?
If there is no way, how do you suggest I secure the points so that it doesn't flex and move? I know I would have to tighten the pivots like a mad man, but could I do something else as well? Could I add some thread locker to the pivots? Could I add some "Amazing Goop" I have to my disposal?
Here are the pics.
