Anybody installed the Spoon Subframe Rigid Collar Kit? - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

So I just purchased the Spoon Subframe Rigid Collar. The Instructions are in japanese. Just curious if anyone here in the forum have installed this Rigid Collar on their CR-Z themselves. Is it a doable DIY or should I just take it to a mechanic? I called one place and they wanted $300 to install it. Ouch.

If you install it before I do, let us know if you did it as DIY or went to a mechanic. If the former, than take some pictures.

I'll probably install it either next week or the first week of August.

I'd say its an easy install, but you need the machinery to hold sections of the sub-frame as you unbolt them... so it might be hard it you're just doing it in a garage...

Jack stands and extra jacks man. Should not be all that hard. I have done stiffened bushings on many cars on the floor of my garage.

I have scheduled to have these installed tomorrow by a speed shop (Evasive Motorsports). Will try to take some pictures and driving feedback.

cant wait. the video for them was enlightening and made A LOT of sense as to why something simple like this would make such a difference
