getting some decent suspension?

lower strut braces make more of a difference.
as far as ive seen the 182 strut braces just bolt to the chassis strut top mounts. cant see what strengthening thats going to do at all..

thats how most strut braces fix onto any car!

they reduce flex in the wings, stiffening the body at its highest stress point during turns!

strut braces do work IMO!

last car i had, it bolted to the suspensions strut top mount - actually bolted on and clamped onto where the suspension bolts on
(not drilling and bolting to the chassis strut mount which it seems people have had to do on their 182's?, even seen someone on here on about 'self tapping' it to the chasis. lol)
and the lower brace went between the lower suspension arm mounts

a fast road setup with full camber and toe adjustment using camber adjustment bolts will be the best thing to do though before getting the strut braces, that way you will get the best out of them if this is the route you are planning on going down
