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.

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.
