omp strut brace

[ed_172_cup]

can someone tell me if these strut braces are worth a squirt or not....gettin some mixed answers from mates. some say good others say they havnt felt the slightest difference.

does feel tighter but can be psychological , does look good in the bay too .

 

[ed_172_cup]

yeh they do look quite tidy - would probly spray it blue tho

 

[kully]

blue is good too

can you get rear braces to? wouldnt have thought it would be needed they are so stiff at the back already

 

[kully]

dont bother with the rear , if you think the front didn't do anything , the back is worse .
i like the look and it does feel slighlty different when cornering , or going round islands .

yeh might have to see for myself...theres one going on ebay now!

i'll be going for a polished one, but thats based purely on looks. wouldnt bother if i wanted it for performance gain. but not a chance im paying extra for a k-tec one lmao

Rear ones do nothing regardless due to suspension design at the back.

Fornt ones are usuauly usless unless there a good strong design and bolted well or welded down.

the rear brace i fitted to my car means we dont use it for shopping anymore and take the wifes car due to my compromised boot space. makes no diff to the car i agree but still best £30 i spent as means i saved a fortune in petrol using her car and my 182 hasn't picked up any parking dings from the supermarket/town.

front/rear dont bother on the rs clios unless your planning on a "show" engine bay.

Does feel stiffer when cornering and it looks awesome. Especially the polished K-Tec front.
