help installing DC sports titanium front strut brace

Maybe this is a stupid question, but has anyone installed the DC Sports Titanium front strut brace (part# mtt6007) on a 2005 Evo? I am having a hard time tightening the top strut bolts. A box wrench sorta works for the lower bolts but there is not enough room for leverage on the top bolts. Is there a special wrench that I need for the top strut bolts?

I second that observation! the front bolts on both sides are not accessble with socket wrench, WTF!!! An oversight by DC!

I used crescent wrench, 14mm, to tighten them. They barley fit into those slits.

But it's so light and pimp looking now, I got the rears too!
Holes lined up perfectly too...
