i have a vms rear brace and worth every penny. does what the front brace does to the rear. (and we all know how good they are).
only thing is, i wasnt expecting the courier to want tax on the parcel ! nobody told me that .... :troutslap

Iv'e read elsewhere that a rear brace like the 1 pictured isnt too effective as it bolts to to rear turret mounts that arn't load bearing. The best way to fix 1 would be........... (borrowed info).....http://www.quickbrickmotorsports.com/prod_wagonbrace.html

Just ordered the QBM one for my V70 (with third row of seats) but need something decent for my S70.

Let me know if you come accross anything. VMS is only for the S/V40.
Ac.

Depending on what/how your cage is fitted you might not need any extra bracing.

Got a rear brace in my car made by PowerCraft that will have 4 fixing points when fully finished! It is currently fixed to the body at both lower end horizontal points.
Looks the nutz as is but TBH I aint 100% convinced it stiffens the car a gr8 deal, havin said that maybe when the sus' is fully reworked it'll all work as a BIG sorted package and the rear end will benefit as a result of the already fitted brace...phew I d'narf go on:troutslap As has already been mentioned here I too think any bracing HAS gotta b a positive for stiffenin/handlin?...

postage was £34 i think. the front strut brace goes on the turrets so how can a rear turret brace not be helpful in the same way???? i can feel the difference.
