Recommended Posts

:) Just fitted the front and rear and what a differance the car feels more solid and the suspension is more controled soaks the bumps more,handling though corners is a lot better as it doe's not lean as much altogether well worth it{strutbracer.co.uk}top service only 2 days to come.Just want to know did any one who has fitted these did you use the orignal nuts on the front struts and did you have to modify the rear strut plastic covers as they have to be left off with the brace on.also the rear nut on the strut are hard to torque up as the shaft seems to turn as you tighten them up{didt'n want to strip the thread on them}.

CHEERS.

I know its easy to fit a front brace but how easy is it to fit a rear one?? If it fits to the top of the shocks dont you lose a lot of boot space!??

nah you wont lose boot space, when i take my mum to the airport its quite handy, you can stop the suitcases bashing about cos its like a leaning thingy.

plus when i went to the beach my huge coolbox sat in the boot nice and the strut brace stopped it from tipping over and soaking my car.

top stuff :thumbsup:

p.s also a great rack to hang your soaking wet chamois when you're done pampering the car.
