Default Cusco A brace

Hello.

I am going to install a cusco A-Brace this weekend, but I am not sure what the torque specs for the bolts that hold it in...can someone help me with it?

Also....if you have installed this before...did you feel any difference in the handling? I am an avid canyon driver and I have pushed the car, but feel the factory suspension is pretty darn good.


Thanks guys,
Fern

I don't know what an "a" brace is, but I have the "u" shaped brace. and it works great for me. go for it.

That type of "assumption" may get you into trouble on this car.
I torque everything to factory spec.
