Postby phatboy on Sun Jun 13, 2004 10:41 am

is this worth doing? im thinking it will be, [ERRR] you can still corner fast, but what brace is gonig to fit? as they dont do them specifically for a low spec fez!

And are rear strut braces worth it?

cheers

If you want to improve the handling of your car then yes they are a good idea. Rear ones are also really good for improving your handling but means you have to build your install around it (if u have one).

From what I've experienced in my mates FRST with front and rear strut braces on is that in the dry its absolutely awesome but in the wet you have to be so careful, can be a very interesting experience indeed.

If your planning an engine conversion in the future base your choose on that model that your gettin the engine out of.....saves you having to buy 2.
