ive just fitted a sparco strut brace i was wondering is there any special instuctions that come with it as i got none 
its on and everything i just wanna check like.
ive moved the engine wiring loom to acccomodate it and ive mover the map sensor that sits nxt to the header tank
it now idles a little lower than before and the bar sits really snug to the top of the black box that sits ontop of the engine\inlet manifold. mine is a 1.4 spi 8v corsa
cheers peeps

think once the strut brace is in place u adjust the thread and then the nut to lock it so that it sets the tension between the suspension turrets! i think?
