Title: Strut Braces
Post by: GTI-BOY on 26 August 2004, 12:04

I was debating whether to fit a strut brace to my 8v digi, I have lowered it by about 40 all round and I bought a 3 piece strut brace kit a while ago but haven't got around to fitting it. Does it make a huge difference? I would probably need to remove the back shelf fixings to fit the rear brace but should I bother?? Will I notice an improvement??? ???

the car will feel a lot more rigid due to the less flex in the chassis. so you will feel improvment

worth puttin on if you have them, if you dont like them you can always just sell em!

True,  I was going to fit the front one anyway, I also have one that I presume fits on to where the wisbones meet the subframe, might just leave it at that unless the rear brace makes a huge difference :)
