what strut brace??

[scurran83]

Thinking of getting a strut brace for the front suspension mounts but not very clued up on them. Any recommendations??

Personally I think the sparco single tube variety looks the best as it is solid and where it anchors to the strut turret there are no other bolts or connections on the actual bar. Some of the strut braces you see look like they would flex like hell or there would be play in the joints.

I managed to get a brand new second hand one for £50.

I think you can get them from Demon Tweeks for about £70 though

There's a pic of the one I got in this thread

I like the sparco double tube and the RD knock off ones.

I have no idea which are better though, I would avoid anything too flimsy looking and with poor plates and hinge arrangements.

Don't know what engine you have but be aware that some strut braces don't fit the M40 or S14 engine. M20 engines are fine with most (if not all).

Apparently there E30's have 2 diffrent lengths between the struts. when i bought my strutbrace it was 10mm to short so they made me another one. mine was the second car they had come across with the longer length.
