I can't for the life of me get the passenger side on. I'm going from underneath and even with clearance dings I can't it past. the cylinder 8 tube gets in the starter area but then I can't wiggle anything else. I would try lifting the entire engine up but I don't have a cherry picker+ with Power by ace mounts the transmission is touching the firewall/transmission tunnel. Next thing I guess i'll try is dropping the oil pan from underneath, I kinda dread doing that... How did you guys get them installed?

You could try removing the torsion bar temporarily. I couldn't get mine to come out so I ended up picking up the motor, getting the header in place, and setting the motor down to it.

Forgot to mention , I'm running QA1 Coilovers. A Starter isn't on and no torsion bars in the way. Looks like lifiting the engine is the only way to do it now haha. Gotta get the cherry picker back. 4 hour road trip time! I was just in a frustrated state when I made this thread. Should be smooth sailing once I get my picker back. Thanks guys!
