Strut bar install question.

I have recently come into posession of an M7 strut bar, courtesy of TMMZ and M7 Christmas contest. Once again, thank you to all involved. It is the coolest gift I got this year.

The question is: How do I install it? Is it simply remove the nuts, put on the bar and retighten? Do I need to lift the front end? Do I need to torque the nuts?

TIA.

easy, lift up nuts, install

You may have to take one side of the allen bolts out to instal both end plates, over the strut towersl, then retighten, hook back up
