Fitting a strut brace - Honda Civic - ajit

Am planning to fit a strut brace. It looks like a simple case of undoing few bolts, putting the brace on and bolting everything back. Is there something else that I am missing ?

Yes. Just make sure it doesn't foul anything as the engine rocks back and forth under braking & acceleration. Don't overtighten the strut retaining nuts - 30ft lbs should be enough (or check in the 'shop manual).
