Will removing my Strut Brace affect my Geometry Setup?

[Ancodia]

Hi all, as above, I need to remove my J's racing strut brace and in doing so will be unbolting the top bolts on the mcpherson struts (i think that's what they are called ) Will this mess with my fast road setup in any way? and will the alignment need to be redone?

Thanks in advance, Rich.

In theory it could do, but I'd do it with the car on its wheels (ie not jacked up) and wouldn't worry about it tbh.

Edit: looking at it again, are there three bolts through the strut mounts on each side but only two of them through the brace? If so then that really lessens your chances of knocking the settings out.

Thanks for the reply, the rhs has only two bolts used but the lhs has all three, I will give it a go when the car isn't jacked, fingers crossed nothing will move!

When you put it on, did that not affect the geometery?

How much are these worth? My mate wants to buy mine off me.
