1) Take a look at the top of each strut tower. Place a straight edge on the flat part of the
tower. If the straight edge does not sit flat and you notice any mushrooming, continue
with step 1a. If your strut towers are flat, move to step 2.
Using the 13mm socket, remove the 6 nuts at the top of the strut towers (3 on each side).
a. Jack up the front end of your car to relieve pressure on the strut towers. DO NOT
LET THE WHEEL COME OFF THE GROUND!
b. Place a wood 2”x4” over the mushroomed portion of the strut tower and hammer
on the wood until the strut tower becomes flat again. When the strut towers have
flattened out, bring the car back onto the ground and move on to step 2.
2) Using the 13mm socket, remove the 6 nuts at the top of the strut towers (3 on each side).
Place the base plates (SRPs) for the brace over the strut towers and begin to screw
down all 6 nuts. Torque these down to 25 lb-ft each. (33.9Nm)
Please note: There is a small plastic locator stud on both strut towers. If the stud
prevents the plate from being installed correctly, the stud may be cut with a pair of
diagonal cutters (wire cutters). Cutting this stud off will not affect the way the vehicle
behaves.
