I am more interested in how other B13 owners have removed this bracket...
methods and results would be a nice, positive addition to the thread as well. I've read about this setup for a long time...and recently picked up a nice Shigspeed setup that was used on a B13...but I've never heard that removing this bracket (useless or otherwise) would be a requirement for the B13.
If I had one car and wanted to plan this install out, I would much rather prefer to have some prep time to remove the bracket **which would not require strut removal** than to start installing this involved setup (and you know you woulda done the driver's side first and had it all buttoned up!) and when you mount the passenger side you realize you gotta take it off...yada yada yada
