A quick update. That flat washer for the bolt that ties the bar to the two strut tower bar is an 1/2" flat washer. I picked up a bag of 4 for like $1.99 at the local Home Depot.

Also, what I've been told is that you have to unload the suspension to install a strut tower bar. Since when the car is in the air the struts have no tension in them. I'm getting my first oil/filter change tomorrow along with my Perrin CBE installed. I might ask the guys, while the car is up, to re-torque the strut tower bar with the suspension unloaded.
