Strut BRace Install...
My next task.
I am about to install my strut brace. Just curious, and forgive the naive question, do the bolts need to be tightened to a certain setting, i.e. torqued? or is typical tightening enough?
Lastly, I assume it requires a 10mm wrench, correct?
TIA for the help.

Assume you are referring to the strut tower nuts. Tighten them to 24 ft lbs. I also used Locktite when I did mine. As I recall the nuts are larger than 10mm, but I assume you'll be able to figure that out w/o my going to my garage at 12:30am to check for you
Remember to add a little pretension to the bar - pushing the towers apart (about 1/2 turn).
