Hi folks,

As title says, anyone know where i can get a rear strut brace or brace bar for a PH 1 V70 in the UK or Europe....???

Dont really want to pay extortionate amounts from the States.

no problem sir, you can get UR racing directly over here but as you don't list price or anything it is a bit of a pain.

If their out of stock tho i do warn you that it does take quite a while, think i waited 8weeks or might of been longer

Ultra racing rear brace looks good, seen it fitted to a 855r and it looked the part, Beware tho i wont fit a Seven seater properly

I don't have the seven seat option, so no probs there.

Just as long as it fits the V70 though..!

Just out of curiosity, did you know the owner of the 850 that had it fitted...?? Just to get a bit of feedback if they noticed any difference in handling.

It was a chap on V.O.C , cant remember his name, but he was from ipswich, the car is a 855r auto with ap brakes and mte remaped ecu very very clean car.

He knows blackbeast on here i belive

i might get you to make a bar for the top of my rear shocks then, just needs to be a bar with a M10 rose-joint each end. I'll get the tape measure out & let you know
