    In the Alfa world people seem to rate Ultra Racing braces on the GTV, they're a bit slow with delivery not being off the shelf items I don't think. But the select few people with the full setup seem to be happy with them (similar set up to this setup). Ok, that doesn't really help with these cars but they are sexy things. I think I'll get some IPD Anti Roll bars for the AWD soon (it bloody needs some!)

    I have the IPD ones front & rear & meyle HD ARB drop links. Had a few issues with the yank supplied bushes but overall they've been OK.

    thats a good point, took them several months for mine to turn up. They had to be shipped from Malaysia, & possibly made out there first

    They were a lot cheaper to buy direct from Malaysia, but the last time I tried they referred me back to a European supplier at an inflated price. I originally had 3 H braces sent from Malaysia at less than one costs from Ebay!

    I have the brace off a C70 cabby on mine

    Fits alot closer to the chassis than the Ultra Racing ones do

    Haha, I wish you lot would get on with those cars so we can see 'em in action!

    I think i'll go with front & rear braces with front and rear strut braces and uprated ARBs and that'll do me. Next year though, after my engine work.

    I have one of those but it's still on the cabbie, makes changing the downpipe a real PITA.

    Quite the opposite of mine then! Lived in the garage for two years (will be 2yrs in August) and every time it comes out, it get's new parts I've had great fun creating a shopping list of stuff this past couple of days ready for when it's back to being my only car!
