Front Strut braces

[Zeitgeist0190]

Am I right in thinking a front strut brace from a 172 will fit a non-sport as all the car shell is the same?
Is there any difference between the Phase 1 and 2 in this respect either?

Sorry if this is a ridiculous question.

I believe that the chassis are all the same but someone will confirm that for you im sure

It will fit your car fine mate.

even though its pointless unless your running the kit with the solid top mounts etc.

 

[DanEdser]

^ what he said.

Bit OT but has anyone driven a car with just the PMS top mounts and then with the brace to compare? I've got the full kit, but was wondering what difference it actually makes

 

[Zeitgeist0190]

When you say 'The full kit' what does that actually entail?

I only ask as i've seen braces separately advertised as for 172, 182 etc. I was fairly sure they should really all be the same as it's the same shell.

 

[DanEdser]

With the full kit, I'm guessing he means he has the PMS top mounts with strut brace that is bolted into the top mounts, rather than a strut brace that sits around the top mounts doing naff all.

Yeah that's what I thought.

Sorry yeah, PMS top mounts alone compared to PMS top mounts w/ strut brace
