place it where it sits nicely
drill the holes
take your rims off so its easier to do up the bolts..

i heard that this type of strut brace ... doesn't do much as it dose not sit directly on top of the rear suspension strut ... like on other types...

a better solution i heard and dont know if ajps still makes it.. is it bolt up to where your rear seat back rest mounts tooo...

could be wrong tho cant seem to find the link
