My advice is to not even LEAN on the car while the upper strut nuts are removed, and certainly don't jack the car after they're removed.
Other than that, it should be as straightforward as the 87-91 install of the 92-99 STB.

It only took 10 minutes to put on. You can't mess it up!!!! The bolts can't be moved because the holes are not slotted and they can only go in one way. The struts can't be moved off center unless for some reason someone elongated the holes. You don't have to jack up the car and you would not want to. It would throw off the natural alignment of the towers. Just remove the bolts one side at a time, put on the tower brackets and then install the bar that crosses over the engine. VERY SIMPLE

When I put one on my Aurora I noticed the difference, was just thinking about firming up the suspension a bit today too.
Hum, think I'm going to get me that setup, have to ask my buddy at the local Pontiac Dealer can do for me other wise it GM parts direct for me.
Good find!!!
