Default Stut brace questions

looking at strut brace.s..........can anyone tell me how easy it is to fit im geussing you unbolt the 4 nuts on top of suspension mounts under bonnet and the brace will match up and go over the bolts then u just tighten up again ......just asking as never fitted one before and wonderd if theres any drilling involved..........can anyone also tell me how they have found it to improve the handling ,ride etc

its a case of undoing a few nuts, a monkey with a spanner could fit it, even halfords could manage it

As long as the holes match it should take only a few minutes.
Ones on previous cars have required drilling an extra hole or two.
Nothing to challenging at all.
