Fittinga Front Strutbrace?

[IRLRs200]

Anyone have front strut brace fitted to the car? if so is simply a case of taking off both ends, securing them to the top of each coilover, the stick in the centre bar and tighten?? jack the car up or leave it as is? Got a cusco one. I have a feeling it may be the wrong one as it says for AS200, which to me lookhs like a flatter engine, i might have some problems with clearance of the bar from the top of the engine

As simple as you said. No need to jack the car up, just unscrew the three nuts and position the pillar then redo the three nuts :D same on the other side.

should be a warning

by jacking the car up you risk the suspension falling out !!! :o

Looks great mate.

Doesn't look like theres a lot of clearane between the brace and the intake though.

Might possibly bang during heavy usage with a bit of engine movement but probeley nothing major.

Looking good mate

Theres loads of room under that strut brace

Excuse me ignorance, but does the strut brace stiffens up the suspension? Is the difference notable?
