strut braces S40-V40

Install couldn't be easyer. Remove the nuts from the top of the strut towers, slip the brackets over the studs, re-install the nuts and torque to 20lbs (I think). Adjust the length of the brace to fit and attach with a bolt & nut at each end. You can pre-load if you like but not necessary. If you buy the IPD brace, the instructions are very clear and simple. The only thing they don't tell you is that you should check & re-torque the brackets after a few days. I had to do this 2 or 3 times. You will need a torque rench because overtightening could easily strip the bolts.
