strut tower install
i'm considering getting a front strut tower brace. i'm just curious how much of a difference is noticed in every day driving, and how easy they are to install. i know its simply removing 4-6 bolts and throwing it on. i'm just curious if i need any support with the towers, or if it's literally take bolts off, put brace on, put bolts back on. thanks!

It is, quite literally, that easy.
There is one little bolt on the windshield wiper motor housing that you have to get out of the way in order to get the bar in place. That requires removing the molding over the bottom of the windshield temporarily in order to access the bolt, but that is also very simple.

It's literally take off the bolts, put brace on, put bolts back on. Would recommend having a torque wrench to ensure you re-torque the bolts to the factory amount.
I have the MRZ strut brace and it gives noticable improvement taking turns at higher speeds..nothing amazing, but noticable none the less....plus it looks good too.
You shouldn't have to remove anything.....mine was installed without removing a thing except the strut bolts.
