Thank you very much. That was a very detailed writeup with a lot of helpful pix. Good job. I wish all writeups were like this, but instead they're like "unbolt hood, drill, bolt in brace, done"

I would also like to add that if you have coilovers, you may need a 14mm deep well socket. Get a 6-point socket and a good torque wrench. Torque the strut bolts to about 30 ft-lbs when reinstalling the nuts.

They may not look like they'll witstand a lot of compression force without bending, but for shear forces they should be okay.
