Strut braces

[platty06]

Ive goty a 96 VTS track car lowered 60mm front and rear. Im looking at getting an upper brace seen cheap ones on flea bay from belgium for like £30, then there is Etech ones that go for about £50 and all the other makes MOMO,sparco etc in beetween.

Is there a noticeable difference? which brace do you have is it any good. Im not at all bothered at name, colour or looks its purely for racing and handling performance.

Im also thinking of a lower brace is 60mm too low to fit one?

Thanks Platty.

get the e tech one mate the others wont fit
if you get a opm one you will have to get bonnet risers
rep if you want

lower brace will be fine at that height providing you miss potholes and speedbumps.

ive got one off they 30quid ones mate. came in red and i sprayed it black. it does fit fine, but on the vtr anyway ,you have to relocate the red fuel cut off switch. only held in by 1 bolt and take 2mins to move. i couldn`t tell you if it makes any diffrence as i fitted it before i even drove the car lol.

I fitted one to my car and i did notice the difference. felt more responsive and sterring wheel didn't shake everywhere over bumpy roads.

Good call, i got an e-tech one off here for £30, had to take bonnet catch out though.
