Post #54
As Phil is on the edge of the lower braces I won't bother him, but I have a friend who is specialised in suspension products - like anti roll bars for older cars which doesn't have rear bars, especially when they are raced; and he does strut braces for the Xsaras too. There was no brace available for the ph.2 before, as with OMP you can't use the bonnet prop as it fools on the brace.
He also does a brace fore the ph.1 Xsara, which is only the copy of the OMP by now - but he isn't happy with the design as "it could have been a lot better" so he'll make his own shaped soon.
It uses a lot more solid material, and the finish is better than the on OMPs, additionally you can order it in just about any colour from the RAL scale!
I have a brace on my ph.2 and also on the VTS and they make huge improvement! Cornering speed is improved, and the oversteer is reduced.
So, if there's interest I can persuade him to make one for the 306 GTI-6 / Rallye!
At the first step it can be the copy of the OMP, or if he can find a 6 locally he would just design one. (but finding a 6 could be an issue here...)
