Deffinately, stiffens front end right up, everyone on here that's got one will agree, a nescessary upgrade now youv'e those extra horses ,cheap upgrade oem about £75 and sometimes less i see dicky has just put his post infront but at least you get the idea it's a well liked mod

yes mazza, go for it.
as said, it tightens the front and also makes driving that little bit more involving
would have to agree, handles much better.

£74 hard earned pounds. I think the seller is RTMechanic 'cos the link at the bottom of the description went to his website, so I feel 100% confident that it will fit. Item no. 130022567212 if your interested.
BTW e-bay sent me a £10 discount voucher for some reason, so I used that as well !! LOL!!

The best £74 squid you will spend!
Arrived at work this morning. My hunch proved correct with the return address on the package.
Now I have just got to find the 5 or 10 minutes to fit it!!!!
TTFN.

OEM Strut Brace
Wahey! Fitted it at lunchtime. Completed a run tonight that I do At least twice a week. The whole car feels tighter and you can feel the suspension doing its thing.
mazza: In answer to your question at the start of the thread; yes, it is worth fitting a strut brace.
Hope it helps.
TTFN.

BEST MODIFICATION FOR THE MONEY I EVER DID!!!!!Originally Posted by mazza
Massively reduces torque steer which inturn improves front end traction and less wheel spin, increases tyre life (because of the above improvement), looks good under the bonnet, weighs bugger all and cheap as chips.
Should be the fist mod anyone does.
