Think they're all the same fit arent they???

The single bar Sparco/OMP ones with the C shaped ends are supposed to be good and cheap.

i know this is in the worst case but have you though about what happens if you have a bump (not a crash) with one on? it happend to a freind and insted of him just needing a new wing he need alot more mork as the strut brace had transferd the force and done nasty thing to the other side of the car aswell. obviouslly you arn't planning on crashing but you know what am trying to say!
