Soaruss Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) I'v got one but didnt pay that much, but that does say polished, mine wasnt. I polished it myself. I'v just sprayed the ends blue (yeah i know everyone goes blue), hopefully fitting tomorrow, Will get a pic when fitted. Think i paid £25 all in.

ADL Mark Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It's thin, weak, and pivots at each end. I shall point you to this thread - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=144749&highlight=strut+brace and in particular the comments by CW on page 2 which explain things better than I will. I can't find the post, but I'm sure somewhere CW commented that the only half decent brace out there for actually adding to structural rigidity is the Carbing brace which is solid and welded to the strut brackets.

Animal Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have the Carbing one on my N/A and I did notice a difference at higher speeds - the front felt a bit more stable with better feel through the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 if you want a strut bar for performance get a decant one like Animals Carbing one. A cheap flimsy one may as well not be there. Though if its gor looks that does'nt matter:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
