Default Strut Bar install Question?!?!

I've got more mixed advice on installing my strut bars. I've heard 1. To jack the car up slightly & 2. Not to do this.

What's the best approach? Thanks for any clearificaiton!

PS - Happy Happy Joy Joy - strut bars arrived today & the "SHARK" logo on the front bars is pretty Spiffy!!!

From what ive heard, jacking up the car in a DD isnt worth it. For rally cars, jacking up the car when installying strut bars could shave off a tenth on their time. On a DD u arent going to notice any difference to warrant the extra work.

Just bolt that badboy up, & ur good to go.

just drive straight forward a few feet and straight back before installing... you'll be fine.
you don't want to jack up the car and remove all 3 bolts off the strut tower.
