Hi guys,
When installing my strut brace is it as easy as unbolt the bolts within the engine bay, install and bolt back up. Or do i need a wheel alignment after.
Sorry for the noob question just making sure. Mine is a little bit different as I have to remove my Tein EDFC motors which are located on top of the coilover.

Wheel alignment not required.
But won't hurt either

hahahah sorry mate I didn't delete enough off the quote - all you are doing is making the chassis stiffer, you are not changing the alignment. You only need a wheel alignment when you do things that affect the alignment - any sort of suspension change.

The strut top nuts only need 20nm torque so don't over tighten them, else they'll snap.
