I installed the Radium master cylinder brace on an automatic a few days ago. Radium's website has PDF instructions that are pretty straightforward: https://www.radiumauto.com/Master-Cy...RZ86-P372.aspx

Luckily, I found those after I did the install. Ha ha.

Removing the driver's side strut tower brace definitely made the job faster.
Another useful tool to have is a dental pick, or other sharp pointed tool to release the clamp on the front wiring harness (AT only).

Routing for the wiring on AT can stay right where it is after you remove that clamp and install the brace. It covers up the logo on the pretty little brace, but the install is clean. Here's how it looks:


You can also see how the fuel line bracket fits right on top of the brace when you install it.

The most important tip is to take your time, and be careful not to drop anything. Otherwise you may need to jack up your car and remove the underbody panels to get stuff out. No butterfingers allowed!

Anyways, the brace helps hard braking as promised, is easy to install, looks good, and is priced a bit less than some of the competition.
