If you really want to go for the advantage of the braces i would say weld the rear one. Rivnuts i am not sure about.
I would fit while being on the ground. You want to take the flex out of the chassis. If you jack it up you flex it first and then you fix it. Not the ideal way i would say

Would want to use tek screws. Can't imagine them holding something like a strut brace firmly enough.
The only reason I ask about rivnuts as some people say their not good enough to hold a strut brace, but ive also been told by others that using nut & bolts foul on the shock.
Just wondering what people have used on theirs really.

I taped the brace by hand into to place to see where it was going to sit. Put the jack under the car to remove the wheels to get into the arches. Half a pump of the jack and the brace just fell out!
I can't believe how much difference is made. Well worth the money.
