I do not want to talk above my level of knowledge, but I'm 95% sure I read somewhere that Cusco said not to install the brace with the suspension unloaded. Gave all sorts of technical advice about how the goal is not to put extra stress on the bar, but rather to brace the car in its natural state, yadda yadda.... I'd love to find the exact link to where I read that, but I spent a whole evening reading up on strut-tower bars online before installing mine, and there were dozens of sites I was reading info on. Honestly, I'd call Cusco and ask them.

Personally, I installed mine while it was flat on the garage floor: the bar went on quickly and easily, no problems, and seems to be doing its job just fine (i.e. I can feel the difference in handling with it up there).
