I would get it fitted and then a wheel alignment as you might put your alignment out when u loosen the 4 bolts

tip is also to attach the h brace and loosen the 4x 19mm bolts slightly, then let the car squat on flat ground and apply weight to the brackets. then tighten the bolts up, this takes any tensions out when the bolts are tightened on the hoist (and car is un sprung).

H brace is like botox for your front end. Well worth it as it sharpens your steering feel a heep if your car is an old GC8

This is correct, make sure you are on level surface when tightening the bolts... if it isn't the brace is not benefiting anyone!
