can anybody shed some light on this topic?

i would like one for stability and not too bothered about what it looks like. so its more of a performance than a cosmetic modification.

opinions please...

sparco one would do the job. Lower strut brace will make more of a difference overall due to the strut top mounts being pretty well support with being joined to the bulkhead

i have an etech one and yeah its alot for show but they do help with stiffening up the front end.

i know some ppl say they dont do anything but i have noticed a big difference from mine. smileys/smiley4.gif

you can get one between £40 and £65 pounds, esparco are the most common ones, should hold suspension together a bit more for going roung them corners at high speed!
