polybush and strut brace

Postby xrsi on Fri Feb 17, 2006 12:28 pm

am half way through fully polybushing my car and now thinking about having a rear strut brace to go with the front one now that i no longer have the dual 12" subs in the boot.....

the thing is i have noticed an improvement with the front, however with the zetec-s rear beam and poly bushes would the rear be too stiff?

just wandering what everyone thought......

ah but the zetec-s rear beam is alot stiffer than a normal beam!

i know the strut brace works diff by stopping the turrets moving towards each other under heavy cornering, but just dont want it too stiff as to adverly effeect handeling.
