Using the DC Sports Front Strut Bar on your 2016 - 2021 Honda Civic is a breeze. First, make sure your car is parked on a flat and stable surface. Then, install the strut bar by connecting it to both strut towers as per the included instructions. When driving, you'll notice an immediate improvement in handling. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to check the strut bar every few months. Look for any signs of rust or damage. If you see any, clean the affected area and apply a protective coating. Avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the strut bar, as this could damage the steel finish. And always make sure all the connections are tight before hitting the road.
