How do you fit rear strut brace on MY03WRX
Was told that a front and rear brace could be fitted in about 45 minutes with just a socket set....Front was dead simple, took about 15 mins, but how do you fit the rear. It seems the parcel shelf needs taking out as the barest minimum, and that the mounts need removing and fitting then the brace reconnected after.....i don't really fancy fannying about with the seats, but i don't quite see how to get it done...any ideas???

Rear seat out
Parscel shelf off
Then you can put the two bits on the strut tops, put it all back together then bold the bar inside the boot to the bits coming off the strut tops you have just fitted...
