strut brace

[deerworrier]

well it dosent look loike i am going to make it to VT before crimbo:( so i have decided to use the time wisely and start sorting out the little bits that need doing.

i changed my dizzy this week for a shinny new one and have checked and changed gbox oil, it looked and smelled fine but i thought what the hell.

i am looking for a list of to do's to make life easier at VT

going to order new leads and a strut brace this week and want ppls opinions on their choices, read so much on the internet decided it was best to ask those who have gone before

fitted new discs and pads last week and full service 1 month ago.

any advice or tips welcome, dont want to buy item then read thats the one to avoid.

thanks in advance:)

I wouldnt worry too much sounds like you have it all in hand.

I think you could do a lot worse when at VT than have a set of Monroe reflex shocks fitted. If you have the money get the springs done too but front shocks (depending on age of current ones) is no bad thing

just found the stage 0 page, plenty to go on there.

any opinions on make of brace and leads would be welcome(is solid or adjustable better?) i'm thinking solid cos i cant think why i would need to adjust, but.....

cheers dave, i'm going to vt with a bit more than i could afford at the moment so i was going to get the exhaust and rica package but i will take a bit more mulla with me and see what hamish :worship: and co think. new shocks and springs sound nice:)

Vep, go for the brace from the main dealer, competitively priced and looks well.

Yes it was for a C70 OE brace. They are about another £10 from the main dealers,
