Strut Brace

[Al J]

Yep, it did help. Cheers.

Must look into this after my hols.

The comedy being of course that it puts up your insurance!

[Ryan1985]

If someone crashes into say your front wheel from side on say goodbye to your car. The strut brace will twist your chassis probably and thats why I haven't got one and my car handles well enough anyway! :P

[Moffmo]

i imagine this is why it isnt standard, they spent all that money of making your car safe, with crumple zones and stuff then a strut brace goes and toughens the car up again

[earpl]

crumple zones are for frontal and rear shunts................lots of cars come with braces as standard e.g z4, TT

[clarky]

And I'm told (cough cough) that older cars that had sports models had them as standard - rs mexico escort etc
