They knock them out at £48.99 including postage from Belgium.

They also do some rather tasty stainless manifolds for a reasonable £250 and some nice suspension set ups.

No assosication with seller, Dr.Evil, Brussels or anything else from Belgium.

Did you jack the car up to fit it? you need to take all the load off the suspension turrets or it will not bolt straight on, they flex under the weight of the car and eaven more when you add load by cornering hard, thats why strut braces came to be in the first place.

do the suspension kits have gas shocks or oil?

Post Fri Aug 22, 2008 7:40 pm

yea it was an axle stands as iv jus put new engine in the beast it feels very poor metal aswel like bluddy plasic!!!!!

Post Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:46 pm

Punt it back on the bay, then and try a hottuning one

It's what i would do after reading all the good reviews.

Post Sat Aug 23, 2008 2:05 am

I would also like to know a bit more about the suspension kits, i'm seriously looking at the origional stuff on the car and thinking it could be better and your price is very tempting

Post Mon Aug 25, 2008 8:34 am

Our suspension kit is gas on oil.

Last week I sold 2-3 kits at the zone, maybe the buyers can put their experience on the zone after fitting and testing

Best regards,

Just got mine,Good piece of Kit

I bought the hottunung alloy strut brace and I'm sorry to say I was not impressed with the item. I felt that the grade of aluminum was too soft as the thing could easily be flexed by hand, that is of course quite a subjective point. More serious was how poorly fitting it was, there was NO WAY that it would fit without redrilling to shorten it almost an inch in total. I put this down to my dodgy iS but since I've bought the Sparco M3 brace, this fitted so snuggly that I can only conclude the hottuning brace was at fault.

Having said that. As a company hottuning are delightful to deal with, a friendly and responsive service

HI

should have contacted us, we had no complains at all, maybe you just had faulty one?

Post Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:24 pm

I have just ordered on via the bay, put a best offer in and after a little bit of toing and fro -ing got it for £37 delivered!!!!

Will I need to jack the car up to fit it? Or just take some of the weight off the wheels?

TIA

Post Fri Apr 17, 2009 5:43 pm

Brilliant!!! Thanks for the good feedback!!!

Post Thu Apr 23, 2009 8:36 am

Arrived Tuesday, and fitted very easily, my only concern is the stiffness, where they adjust in the middle is a significant weak spot, and it flexes quite a lot. These would be a lot better if they were made from mild steel. After only about 10 miles of gentle driving the plates are deforming already.

If you are after a strut brace for a track car, then I wouldn't buy one of these, but on the road it would be ok I think.

It is quite a nice addition to the engine bay though

I bought a Hottuning Strut Brace from a fellow Zoner, the fitting was poor i'm afraid i had to flex the shite out of the brace just to get it to fit, having said that it uber tight so i assume this should only make the shell more stiff.

Post Sun Jun 07, 2009 11:32 pm

If you were able to flex the brace then it will be doing nothing for the shell rigidity

Post Sun Jun 07, 2009 11:59 pm
