im 99.9% sure the OMP one is a straight fit mate, as I plan to get myself both the upper and lower ones

OMP, E-tech doesn't require it to be relocated

cheers guys, are the e-tech ones the flat silver ones? iirc. they look pretty good if they the ones

Baz

yes they are the ones, though i'd say OMP all the way. suposidly the e-tech ones don't do much in the way of stiffening up bodyroll

yea e-tech are the silver ones, although they don't seem to be highly rated on here. But then again they are quite expensive compared to the OMP's, Links:

As bullit said the top ones do nothing really anyway as the saxo's bulkhead is stiff standard. I think they are just for tarting up the engine bay!

If you want to get rid of all body roll, stiffer anti roll bars and a lower brace will do the job..

the upper does work as long as your running a silly suspension setup to cause the flex

neva really noticed much difference with the e-tech. looked nice and shiney tho lol

only really worth money if you have uprated the suspension as this places higher loads on the chassis

i have omp upper brace, looks alright not noticed much difference, purely for show imo car does feel a bit stiffer but sure thats all in the mind.
