I'm a new guy so I apologize in advance for this "New Guy" question. Anyway, I just got my Steeda strut tower brace today from Brenspeed. My question is do I just loosen the 4 nuts on the strut towers and put it on and tighten it down or is there more to it than that? Thanks.

That's pretty much it. You should torque those nuts down again but I couldn't tell you how much.

Is anyone feeling an improvement in handling, or is just for show?

there is a slight improvement. it is much more noticable when you remove the bar. when it goes on, you dont notice it as much. but once its removed after getting used to it being installed, you can tell it was doing something good for you.
