Finally!!! Someone who's strutbrace squeaks! Lol its doing my head in, have tried everything to get it to stop but I like it too much to get rid of it. Yeah I noticed the spotted thing, didnt see you down there, were you parked?

I'd keep the strutbrace if you can, purely because of looks mind you.

i stopped my squeek,

was a pretty extreme method

it was the lip on the car where strut pokes through,
had to bend it up with mole grips,

i tried so much lol,

i want to keep it, but its strut brace or subwoofer

Lol, have the anthrasite one on the front and want to scrap it and get a red one (cant be bothered to paint it). Yeah that is an extreme method, I have one more idea of getting it to shutup then I give up, im kind of getting used to it now mind you.

I know what you mean about wanting it low, as soon as I took the seats out...up it went lol. Buuuut luckily for me I got coilovers and Im picking the rear adjustable springs up from Gaz Shocks in Basildon this week so come Sunday it'll be as low as I want it :D

Lol, its a shame the red ones were going cheap at FCS but i decided to be sensible and not buy it...fail. So now Im going to have to pay more for a red one. Its bottom of my priority list atm but when I get rid of it i'll let you know :)
