    Strut brace?

    I've been looking into putting a strut brace on my T5, Does any one know of a good supplier, would like a chrome one if poss. Also was wondering, I have an ABS unit that looks like it might get in the way top right of engine bay behind the air filter, not seen on some other t5's any ideas?

    Hi, Bison; I'd go for the Volvo one: at least you know it'll fit. They're not much more than the aftermarket ones (about £80). It helps control torque steer a lot. It comes in a satin finish alloy. Maybe you could get it chromed by a plating firm.
    Cheers, Chris.

    Yeah go with the volvo one, good value and will fit, I know OMP do them in a red finish but you have to move things about to make them fit.

    Should cost too much to get one chromed.
