Gonna fit the strut brace tomoz, but i've been thinking would it be better if i jacked the car up on both sides, taking the strain off the turrets/ suspension and then fitting it?

Or would the whole lot fall out if i did this and undid the bolts?

leave it on the floor - if you dont move anything steering wise you should be able to crop it straight on

leave 1 bolt in each til the last minute

Did it yesterday, luckily the new strut brace came with a nice bolt for the alarm to secure too.
Was a bit of a pain in the arse, to to as the brace was a very close fit to the bulkhead, where the rubber section runs along the top of the engine bay.

After a bit of force, and flexing of the muscles its all fitted, and is secure.

Seems to tighten up the front end nicely. Well worth the mod IMO.
