    I assume u have/are gettin the rear brace from the group buy on toymods?
    I too will be installing mine as soon as it finally gets here.

    I assumed u just drill the holes in the right places and bolt the brace to the chassis.

    oi thats my car!

    but yeah, pretty simple to install, line the brace up so its straight and sits as flat as possible onto the mounting surface. then mark and drill the holes and bolt it all up with the nuts on the inside.

    i also used high tensile nuts and bolts with washers.

    makes a noticable difference in rear end stiffness
