you asked about mounting the front strut brace ... here goes:



the bolt points in red are the stock 'chassis brace' mounting points ... there are NOT to be confused with how to mount a 'strut brace'
chassis brace only connects the top of the strut towers together ... not the actual struts themselves
the bolt points in yellow are the actual shock/strut mounting points ... you have to un-do the (14mm or 17mm) nut on the top of these, insert strut brace, than tighten them back up .... simple
make sure the car is on the ground when you do it - not jacked up



as for the 4 point rear brace, theres a little more in the process
you have to remove:
- the cover
- the side covers + floor covers
- the spare wheel (helps alot)
the brace will be bolting to the same place as at the front - directly to the strut tops
so you need to get the side lining of your boot and line it up with where the shock tower is and cut a hole big enough for the strut brace to fit through
(in sedan its easy because its just carper/material - i think the hatch has plastic so it might be a bit more tricky)
now that you have your modified side lining ... u re-insert it and bolt in your strut brace the same as the front
as for the 2 extra mounting points ... get the screws that come with the bar and a drill with a phillips head on it and goto town =)

when your done it should look like mine =)

PERFECT - i needed bolt sizes really because i have tog et the bolts for the brace as you ahve done one connects to the same places as teh shocker and the other is on the tower i need the
bolts to i can connect the tower one - do you follow?

as fot the rear 4pt yes i relaise that i need to remove the plastices which is A. annoying and B. a bitch because i have gorella hands and break anything thats delicate (insert joke here) with your 4pt did you drill out the hold in your wheel well or just left the bottom pat unbolted? and what size bolts did you use?

[TheSaint]

the front chassis brace uses 13mm head, dont know what the thread is, the bolt is about 20mm long ... mount them upside down so that the nut is engine bay side up
jack the car up for access to the wheel well
use a 13mm spanner in the wheel well and a socket kit on the top to do them up

the 4pnt rear bar should have come with some plain phillip head metal screws
check the hole size on the brace and grab some screws to match
i just got a corded drill with a phillip fitting and went to town on it

if you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask =D
