Strut brace fitting?

[MICRASKYLINE]

After waiting for around 4 months for a Whiteline strut brace. . . Finally came this morning!!!

To fit - is it a matter of undoing the bolts and tightening back up when you position the brace OR do you need a torque wrench to get the proper tightness of the bolts?

best to use a torque wrench but you can do it with out, but be careful not to over tighten.

theres actually a correct way for fiting a strut brace i was talking to my freind at subaru about this.. and his training also points this out..

You need to jack the car up to release all the pressure of the suspention and the mounting points so that when the strut brace is fitted it is tensioned agained the bodywork and keeps the chassis that bit more rigid.. duno if iv explained it very well lol but i know what i mean
