I have looked into buying a rear strut brace, but most people on here says its not really worth doing/buying.
A front strut brace on the other hand gives the car less flex in the corners apparently.
Wait til those boys who have them fitted come on, they will advise better.

Do you have any further plans for your Trophy?

Just buy a turbo'd car if you want a turbo. I couldn't justify 7k for a turbo conversion. Sell your 182 for £9k (ish) and spend the money that you have for the turbo conversion on a Turbo car.
BB have a turbo 172, and a guy on here has a turbo 172 kicking 262-270 bhp, and a shed load of...
