   Ive got an OMP upper strut brace (the adjustable one) When adjusting it, is it best to pull the suspension turrets IN or push them OUT? if you know what i mean?
   
   Cheers

   dont pull them in or push them
   
   it puts stress on the topmount bolts and can snap them
   
   the adjustment is there as cars can vary from manufacturer in size so they cant do a 1 for all on something that specific
   
   just set up so it fits over the bolts

   i set mine so its just abit to push them, so it feels solid if that makes sense.
