2 (12mm) bolts infront of the base (back of rear foot well).
Take the base out.
There are 3 or 4 (12mm) bolts (depending on UK or JDM) holding the bottom of the back rest in place.
Now lift the back rest straight up (lifts it off the securing hooks).

In the top corners you should see the Suspension top mounts :D

You will have to dis-assemble the strut brace and fit the ends to the strut tops then fix the centre part on from inside the boot :)

Make sure the weight on the vehicle is on the wheels when fitting a strut brace so the susspension doesn't move when you undo the nuts on the top mount (3 x 12mm nuts each side) ;)
