Title: Chassis Stiffening
Post by: Teamheath on 11 March 2007, 22:07

Where's the best place to get a set of front and rear strut braces from for me 16valve please??
And i was looking at suspension on ebay, and a cheap set of coilovers were fairly do-able or am i better off getting a non adjustable setup??
The cars going on the road, but its main use will be track days.

Advice is all welcome please.
Dave

You want Eibach or H&R Braces.

A six point roll cage welded in (not bolted) can make a massive difference to handling and no need to fit a rear strut brace, front one will still come in usefull though..

My intention will be to go for a roll cage in the end i think, but trying to keep costs down for now....

Where's best to find the eibach or H and R braces then??  Ebay only seem to have sparco or omp ones.

Thanks

Halfords can order all Eibach suspension products, and as they're high-end products they're not to expensive.

lower strut brace wont make much difference on MK2s as they already have a strong subframe.  Worth it on a MK1 though!

That H and R site, is that just for the braces then??

As for the EIbach stufff at Halfords i'll have to pop in and check out the prices then....
Thanks for the input so far fellas.
