I'd spend the money on something that may acually do something, have a look at the lower ones Phil is making maybe. ________________________________________ Ryan |

Tbh go to search, type in strutbrace and read the thread about "better without it" looooads of comments regarding "depends on the car" "depends on suspension set up" etc etc, too many variables to just say yes / no  ________________________________________ Ex-Black 6 - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

I see where you are coming from but I am purely commenting on my own experience with them (OMP btw)I cant really see the variable's on a well maintained, standard car but if we are talking modified suspension on track cars etc then I totally agree that there are way to many. ________________________________________ Ryan |

allesclar wrote: OMP are £65 including postage BRAND NEW from strutbracer.co.uk £74.05 inc VAT is the latest price from the strutbracer website for the OMP red upper steel brace. The ebay website is only offering black ones for £92, which is getting up there price-wise. I actually want an alloy one to stay with the Rallye lightweight theme, as a steel strut brace is quite heavy. Anyone know of a decent alloy brace - don't like the e-tech one as it does not look solid enough, and I don't like braces with pivot joints between bar and tower brackets. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
