Forgot to mention the easiest part of the job- probably because it was so easy it took up no bandwidth. The strut tower brace is installed by removing tow of the upper strut mount bolts and replacing with two longer bolts that secure the bar's eyelets. Couldn't be less drama.
The rest of the work is decidedly more time consuming. If it wasn't for a nice array of air tools, I would probably have maimed myself at some point, and from a time standpoint I would definitely still be out there. As it is, I need only to lower the car and adjust/tighten everything and take it for a ride. I've lost 2 weeks of in-season seat time and might wait for later in the year for the rear. Kind of not in the mood for it right now, either.
