Strut Bar Installation

[Adam_SG]

As a few of you know i bought a cusco strut bar for my car, firstly the black large washer type circular "bits" that are on top of the suspension struts... do i remove em or leave em on? It sits lower with em off and i can tighten it up more and actually close my bonnet! Although it doesn't seem to fit as flush with em off. I removed the inside air scoop but its a very close thing closing the bonnet with the black "bits" on. And which way round does it go? I have it facing so that its sat towards the windscreen end more. Hope that makes sense. Oh and i dropped a nut into the bottom of the engine bay.. doh... this aint gonna get caught up in any thing is it? its just gonna fall off the tray when i hit 90 right and not fly off into any moving parts in the engine?

 

Thanks
