I remember reading somewhere that it's recommend to jack up the front of the car when fitting a front strut brace. Having no load on the front suspension while it's being fitted it beneficial.

Is this true or BS?

Point to be picked up on here is the fact that your using stainless steel on suspension parts. Thats a big no no. Stainless looks the dogs danglies but is very brittle and should never be used for something like suspension. :|
