Just received my package from Design 1 Racing (thanks, Flash). Now I have the classic "chicken or the egg" question: Which goes on first, the firewall brace or the strut tower brace?

never thought about it, but since the firewall brace has to be connected to the strut tower brace, i would install the strut tower brace first. it shouldn't present a complication.

I did the strut tower brace first as it's hard to drink your first "I've got new parts and can't wait to install them" beer when doing the lower brace.
