Question

Just got a set of F & R strut braces for a MY03 UK STi. Are these as easy to fit as it seems (ie Unscrew bolts, put Bar on & Put bolts back in) or is there more to it? Will I need the Geometry re-checking if I've messed about with it?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Cheers
Steve

Not sure what's involved with fitting the rear brace, but the front is a simple DIY job and no you don't need to adjust the geo when you fit the front brace.

i had mine fitted on the rear, quite simple to do it. you just take out the rear seats, screw the rings to the top monts. whack your seats back in and voialla. sorted

Soz bit off topic, but STEVECHAPS can I ask what F + R braces you've gone for (as I'm considering F + R braces for my Sti8).

Thanks.
