strut brace

[Dafydd]

hi how do i put one of these ajustable strut braces on a 16 valve then ?is it hard?cheers

drill the holes in the strut top after aligning and marking them, turn the ignition module/coil upside down and bolt the thing on, then set the tension.

 

[Dafydd]

thankyou sir, so if i interpret that correctly, line it up. mark where the holes go, drill through, mount it up, do the bolts come with it?and do i do this with the car on the floor.ta

Do they make the car any better

 

[Dafydd]

yep adds another 30 mph to the top speed lol

youll need to take the top mounts off and drop the shock assembly down to reach the bolts underneath in the turret.

daf just drill 20 odd holes but a few self tappers in the 3mm ones and your laughin son

should add around 20bhp if you use ss self tappers

...I would love to know Guys how a strut brace can increase top speed & bhp???

 

[Bryan]

it doesnt, but if it was in max power..........

all it does is basically stiffen the chassis to reduce body roll so you in theory can carry more speed through corners

 

[RobFenn]

But breakaway is more sudden..
