Using this AEM strut bar is simple. First, gather common tools you can easily find at home or in a local hardware store. Then, locate the existing factory mounting points in your Honda S2000. It's important to make sure your car is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off before you start the installation. Once you've found the mounting points, attach the strut bar using the tools. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the strut bar for any signs of damage or loose connections. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution to keep the charcoal gray powder - coat finish looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish. If you notice any issues, it's best to get it checked by a professional.
