We may be able to get a batch of single tube strut braces similar to the Sparco one made up. I will get some details on the tubing bore and thickness and also a rough idea on the cost over the next few days.

If the spec is the same as the Sparco M3 one and it's cheaper then count me in.

Had a word with them today and they are going to have a look and do a mock up rear strut brace and see how best to do it. Whether it be straight across or bent up and run along under the parcel shelf.
Should be able to get some pictures early next week and also a price

Three unpainted fronts for me please, as long as they compare price wise with the Sparco ones and are going to be available soon-ish rather than months. (If you have a prototype ready for Brands on 15th ....... :wink: )

Cheers
Brian

I'm be interested in a shapely rear on ie bends upto the parcel shelf but in reality will this help rigidity of the car? as the weight of the car is on the springs and they land on a chassis leg which wont be flexing too much, although maybe a very wise move for coilover equipped cars?
