The C Pilar probably not do anything, because the chasis of saxos's its is very tight. But if case, it they do something, will do the same like a front bar risers.

It's ... Different.
Better than the Sax's/Modified cars around here (in Alicante/Valencia),
They're all Chrome everything with massive bodykits stuck on by prittstick and double sided sticky tape.
But ye its definitely an improvement.

O ye ..
Hundred's of 1.1's and 1.5's,
They like the old Astra's and Mk1 Ibiza's out here with the chrome alloys and big exhaust that just sounds rotten, ooo and the stench is awful from the blown oil seals ..
Anyway i'm currently in Oliva, visiting my Ma & Pa as they live out here, its near Gandia,Denia,Javea if you know them?
About 45minutes away from Beniform.

They don't do anything. As there isn't a strut there.......
Looks to me like a normal brace re-welded with brackets etc....
