omp ones are very good, they also do a lower one.
I have an e-tech one, but thats more for show really.

e tec will be about as good at keeping the struts 'braced' as a hooker is at keeping her legs together on rent pay day

The OMP is on mine as its adjustable and the E-tec isn't im pretty sure thats why everyone would say the OMP is better because you can stiffen it up

have you not seen how flimsy they are???
its nothing to do with the omp being adjstable, its to do with the fact its strong and is there for a purpose.

Can you notice a big diff when you put on upper & lower struts?
I always thought it wouldnt make a noticeable difference!
