it supposed to be tight cuz its a strut bar lol. i mean you can loosen the bolts then and install it, then just tighten the bolts back up. whats the point of having a strut bar if its not going to be tight?

Given the car doesn't even have struts there's no real "point" to it anyway other than for show

About as much as putting a broom stick in your back seat between the doors I guess.

not in any way you could actually ever perceive or measure though, no.
