I did mine in the driveway. Car has been stuck there for over a year now though!

How do you mean inverted? I might have fitted it wrong!?

no fitted right way around mate only goes one way round really

its a sparco lower strut brace slippy stiffens the subframe between the wishbones and helps the handling ...
