The fronts are good, rears are toss.

I would imagine it would help the cabby cos it will tighten it all up, might help with that scuttle  :evil:

you ever seen inside the boot of a cabby,
that bloody huge beam that runs between the rear struts..
no need for a brace there me thinks..
plus you would then have less than no boot space.
lol
ill give the front one a go though
i know i noticed a difference when i put one on my old mk1 mr2  back in the day

I cant say as I've noticed mine being light over 20mph. Is there too much tyre pressure in the fronts? :undecided:
