I guys.
I have just bought a front strut brace for an 02 bugeye STi, before I fit it, does anyone know if it is as simple to fit as it looks?

Before I fit it, I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to mess anything up. I'm a bit of a novice when it come to these things.

Am I right in assuming it's simply un-bolt the 3 bolts on the top mount and fit the strut brace the re fit the bolts?

Thanks in advanced.

Those bolts are torqued tho, i overdid mine when refitting a strut and had an odd noise, loosened off and was fine

Cheers for the reply, so it is a simple as that then?

yeah just dont overtighten or you'll snap the thread in the top mount, then you're in trouble

and, also hope the top mounts havent been replaced at some point with the new items not having a long enough thread to fit a brace as what happened to me after i fitted KYB replacement top mounts

Cheers I think it's all good, I haven't tighten them too much, but tight enough not to come loose, it's standard suspension, so it was as easy as I though.
Cheers for the advice guys
