yeah it should be cool

as long as you are talking about the three bolts (per side) that hold the upper pillow mounts to the inner fender... just don't move the car.

it will be fine, the weight of the car holds the struts. just dont jack it up if you have the nuts off

ive had the car up before when i put mine on, personally i think it makes it even stiffer when u jack it up then adjust the bar, cuz if u think about it when the car is jacked the towers move farther away and the whole purpose of having upper strut bars is to keep the towers from flexing inward on turns, right or is it just me.
That is called preloading.

WBB, who is currently running both preloaded bars.
