Rear upper strut brace?

[c6hut]

Been trying to get a rear upper strut brace for my mk1 lcr. The car has previously had one (cut outs already in the boot carpet at the struts) but the previous owner removed it before I bought it, any ideas? Ive heard one from a Honda Intergra fits, but not sure what model, and if its a straight fit or not..

Thanks for any help

Ive got both in mine. the Honda intergra Type R fits the bottom boot floor and makes a difference to the rear end. the Top 1 is a custom made 1

Top one is made by a guy called Mike from Hughes Engineering.
Give him an email and see if he has any left or will make you one.
They are really well made and you'll notice the difference whether you go for one or both rear braces.

i have one of the top custom ones and the quality is superb...£85 i think

£68 delivered was the price but that was on a group buy I organised. Have no idea if he has any left, price of metal increased or if he'll make a one off for a price but I'm sure Mike will answer all your questions.

he still defo makes one off braces but he requests to be paid by cheque only. minw was made around 6 weeks ago

Nice to know people are still getting them . You notice the difference Bret?.

well tbh i had mine fitted with my KW variant 3s so im not the best person to ask. the rear defo feels more stable now, under braking...

I was lucky enough to get mine for about £20, but Strutbracer now seem to selling them for about £50.00

Edit.. Just checked and they dont seem to be stocking them anymore !

I have the upper one and noticed an instant improvement.
My back end feels tighter.

I think J@mes has got the Honda one, I'm sure he said it's from the Integra, Dont think it's the DC5 though.
