JCW Struct Brace

Hi,

I want to make some improvement in handling.

Is it easy to install a JCW struct brace? How to do that? I am wondering is it necessary to raise the car to loose the nuts? any specially skill to install it by self?

Thx!

Daniel

EDIT: for some reason I was thinking about sway bars. All you need is a socket wrench and you can do it. It doesn't get any easier.

If it takes you more than 15 minutes you are doing something wrong. Nothing special to do, bolt off, bolt on.
