lol mate

all u need is the right sized socket (17mm I think) and a rachet to make it easy. Juts took one off...took about 5min.

As DRFTO...I install one for him last night, it didn't take long.

if you do the rear lower strut brace you need a wheel alignment again.. :( not sure about the front lower

Wheel alignment wouldn't cost too much, $30 bucks for 4 wheels. If you haven't already, tell them to swap the wheels around .. back to front and vice versa.
