How easy is it to fit a lower strut brace to my LC yourself??

[ChrisJ]

Has anybody fitted a front lower strut brase? If so how long does it take and how difficult is it to do??

Any thoughts much appreciated, Thanks

its very easy.
took me 10 mins or so. (most of which were spent getting the car high enough for me to fit underneath)

make sure you get the correct bolts with it.
working out how these work is the hardest bit. -as you tighten the bolt the part that you have screwed it into expands.
so just do the bolts up tight!

here is a guide from Pabs site.
