Default Spoon Xbrace removal

I wanna remove my Spoon Xbrace. I was wondering if I stick back the bolts that came with the Spoon Xbrace back under the car? Or do I just leave it off ?

In reality, you should put back the bolts that were there to begin with. You can't just leave them off. They hold up other stuff under there. The Spoon bolts are a bit longer than the OEM bolts that came off.

Thanks xViper. The guys who put my xbrace on didnt give me back the stock bolts. Do you know what part number or what I ask for when I go to Honda to buy them? http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/j...gry5=CROSS+BEAM
Is that part number 9,10,11 and 14?

I believe that 9, 10, 11 are engine cradle bolts and are not the ones you want.
I "think" you want #14 but to be sure, you need to go under the car and pinpoint which bolts are the ones you really need.

Im running buddyclubs in the rears at full drop. I have the Bilsteins on a 3inch drop in the front.The rear is lower then the front. I am going to change the fronts to Buddyclubs and even the drop with the back. For some reason the rear Bilsteins didnt go low like the fronts. The Spoon XBrace will hit everything because my front is super low after I change to Buddyclub. Also its easier to change the oil haha I love the Brace but I rather have my car at full slam. When I look under my car the closest thing to the ground is the Xbrace.

HAHA.. Too low.. Once you have done finished lowering your car you may be one of the lowest on the board at over a 3 inch drop in the front and rear. Crazy man..
