hi I need a stut brace for a 2002 v70 I am pretty sure this will not fit without cutting etc I really wanted to try a second hand unit to keep costs down in case its a waste of money what is you best price

The Phase 2 V70's have a different engine bay and the above strut brace will not fit as it made for 850 and phase 1 v70s only.
cheers for the info I am really wanting the head mounts and a bar to mess with I kno the existing engine mout bar will need to be removed and a noiw engine mount making up but this is the only solution as there is now a proper stut brace for the phase 2 there is a modified v70r on v70r.com showing it can be done but do not know the donner brace model. But thanks again for the info. A chipped d5 really rolls in corners and i need to sort it. Had 2 x t5's 850 salood and phase 2 v70 geartronic but wanted performance and economy hence chipped d5 but front end heavy, i could always fir a t5 engine LOL
oops should say "as there is not a proper stut brace for the phase 2" and not "now"

Best mod i have done for the money IMO. Incredible difference. Less torque steer, more control, superb. Get one.
