omp strut brace.......fitted!

[GRANT]

finally fitted the "new style" front upper strut brace and it works brilliantly.feels a lot better on the motorway more solid, good investment me thinks (plus it looks good next to my pollished inlet pipes).dead easy to fit as well took about 15 mins. highly recommended.

What colour is it grant?

 

[telford_mike]

Got any pics Grant? And the OMP part number would be good if you have it please?

 

[geoff_clio182]

Yeah pics would be good.

 

[telford_mike]

bump - I want one of these!

 

[geoff_clio182]

Ditto Mike!

 

[Roamer]

Yeah can we have pics? how is it mounted? bolted through the strut tower tops?

 

[Batesyboy]

Ive also just bought one (from Demon Tweeks)... mines red and looks WICKED. Its bolted (well screwed) into the tops of the strut towers. It kinds feels different to drive, havent made my mind up yet. Seems to grip more and then "let go" unexpectedly!! Need to rack up some more miles to get used to it.

Got a rear one on backorder but its gonna interfere with my sub box so might not bother with it...

Also got a Richbrook black alloy tax disc holder; yippee, all traces of Jeffries Farm have now dissappeared!

Photies to follow.

sparcos strut brace supposedly for the 172 also fits the normal clios...its confirmed...cos a couple of me mates have em fitted...oh and they do not obstruct access to the engine like the OMP one does...i think...

 

[Steveold]

I do like the k-tec one though.....

 

[GRANT]

sorry been on oliday so running a bit behind.

ok,hmmm its red,no pics yet but will be coming soon and the part number is "MA 1836" (thats the demon tweeks no).

car feels a lot better as i said but have noticed after a month of running around it rubs on the bonnet lining,not a big problem certainly one i can live with.

heard very good things about the rear one but fitting it means i cant get my moutain bike in the boot.unless it can be modified to swing out of the way.it no longer on the shopping list.

(ps:- if you look in the dt catalogue (performance direct version) sparco do a lower steel version(pt no:-036661inf). i fitted one of these to my mk1 gti golf with huge(and i do mean huge) gains,worth considering.)

[Dansta]

why not use the same one on yer 172?

 

[GRANT]

sadly that golf is long gone.moved up in the world to a mk 2,then a discovery then saw the light again and into my clio!
