Rear strutbrace fitted

[flat-eric]

As above, fitted it this evening, omp rear strut brace second hand off the bay £15 bargain!

Anyway, the results.....

must say the arse end feels alot more planted and stable, the back end didnt wanna slide as much if that makes sense (New to all this)

so anyway i'm chuffed to bits with it, just need to paint it up in a colour of my chioce (TBC)

next stop is getting a decent front one!

A strut brace won't make a noticeable difference to the handling of your car. Reason being, the struts won't move enough.

If you want a tighter back end, you need a rear anti roll bar.

it could have been a conscious thing knowing I had just fitted it, but it seamed to feel more stable 53 plate 172 with 92,000miles

Rear strut brace is only any good for hanging your socks on to dry,or filling your boot so you cannot get anything in.
