WARNING!!: If you lack the necessary skill, tools, or equipment to safely complete this installation, have the component installed by a mechanic with the proper equipment and expertise.
Thoroughly read and understand these installation instructions before beginning the installation. If there is any doubt regarding the procedure, please contact CHE Performance prior to attempting installation
NOTE: Photos show installation on a V6 manual transmission vehicle. Installation is typical of all engine and transmission combinations.

Installation Note
	NOTE: Convertible models may already have a K-Member brace installed from the factory and must be removed prior to installation of the CHE 4-Point K-member brace. Additionally, some early models may not have holes in the K-member where the factory brace mounts and will require the drilling of 2 holes prior to installation of the CHE 4-Point brace. Please contact CHE for a template to drill these holes.
Step 1. Raise and Support Vehicle
	With the rear wheels properly blocked, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with jack stands along the structure of the vehicle. Because you will be removing the bolts that attach the front A-arms to the k-member, do not support the weight of the vehicle at the wheels or on the control arms. The front wheels should be hanging freely above the floor.
Step 2. Remove Control Arm Mount Bolt
	Remove the inboard bolt retaining the control arm bushing mount to the K-Member. Do this on both sides of the vehicle. The nut will be re-used, and the bolt may be discarded.
	Tip: Remove only the inboard (engine side) bolts. Removal of both inboard and outboard bolts may result in suspension damage or personal injury.
Step 3. Install Brace
	A. Place the brace under the control arm bushing mounts and inspect for fitment.
	B. Install the 10mm bolts (17mm Bolt Head) and flat washer into the rear mounting holes of the brace, but do not tighten them at this time. There should be enough slack in the brace to allow final positioning of the brace. Do this on both sides of the brace.
	C. Place a washer over the provided 14mm bolt and install it through the tubular standoffs of the brace and into the front control arm bushing mount holes, re-using the factory locknut. Do not fully tighten them at this time. There should be enough slack in the brace to allow final positioning of the brace. Do this on both sides of the brace.
Step 4. Tighten Mounting Bolts
	A. Snug up the rear flange bolts until they are just tight enough to take any slack out of the bolt. Do not final torque it at this time. This step will insure proper alignment of the brace without causing deformation of the k-member flange.
	B. Torque both of the the control arm mount bolts to 129 ft-lbs (175N-m).
	C. Torque the rear flange bolts to 30-45 ft-lbs.
Step 5. Lower Vehicle
	Inspect installation for clearance issues and lower the vehicle.
