Does anybody know if there is a rear strut brace available for the Ibiza Cupra 20vt?

I just had my front one fitted by my local dealer and this had put me in the mood to get a rear one aswell, but SEAT dont supply one.

If they are available, then how much, what type and where from?

I have been looking at the strut brace myself (front) has it made the turn in any better?

Could you give us a review?

Not sure if one would make a difference on the back.

Ive not really had a good chance to notice the difference the strut brace has made. However, the car feels tighter when going round bends and roundabouts. I think you would probably feel the advantage of it more if the rest of the suspension has been upgraded. I intend to get a rear brace and a set of eibach anti roll bars, to stiffen the car up.

Phelpo, I would go and get one. Its a SEAT supplied accessory, so u wont have any warranty worries, and its cheap and easy to fit. If nothing else, then it gives u somethin to show off in your engine bay.

Thanks for that, I think your right for the price you can't go wrong. I am looking to build the car up into more of a rally spec than fast road or race so if you know of any suppliers of beefed up suspension components I would love to know. The anti roll bars sound interesting let me know how you get on with them.

I was looking at the SJBSport site on noticed they had lower mounted strut braces any idea how these fit?
