OMP front lower strut brace

[Faisal]

My front lower strut brace is bent out of shape, and iv been quoted a bit over £70 for a replacement from SEAT,

so iv checked on eBay and found this OMP front lower strut brace which is a wee bit cheaper

has any1 tried this?will it be a straight fit?

iv done a big long search but everything i find only relates to the upper strut brace or the rear strut brace

how comes the audi s3 lower strut that i got the other day looks different to that?

 

[james walker]

just get a s3 lower... 30 quid???

 

[Faisal]

ehmm not sure... how does yours look?any pics?

aha! i had a feeling they were £30!i knew i heard that figure before.oki il give audi a call,thought that SEAT would be cheaper lol

Will the S3 lwr strut brace fit Cupra too? Or just LCR? Any pics of where it bolts to?
Cheers

Will fit LC too.
As above this is the wrong one for your car, get the S3/LCR one @ £30

Avoid that OMP thing .. it WILL hit stuff, it WILL Bend and it will make your undertray catch on every speed bump in the country.

I had an OMP front lower brace fitted to my FR, it's the same brace as the LCR.

The leon is lowered, only place i felt this brace would be a sensible is on a track.

The quality isn't the best and the drive isn't totally level but i think it gets the point across.

Thats rediculous theres literally a few mm of the floor.

had no complaints with my s3 lower brace yet, made quite a difference to the car. definatly worth the 36 quid in all and about 30 mins fitting. superb

Whats the diffrence, mine has one on allready and seems fine? so why is the S3 diffrent?

the LCRs come standard with one mate, as for LC they dont. so i had to fit the S3 item. no difference at all mate.

Gotcha, not clued on on cupra's, just the R

 

[Faisal]

Seems like standard fit matey, S3 or leon, but S3 seems to be the popular choice.

The best is either the one that fits or the one you can afford.
The only one that fits with the OEM exhaust is the Neuspeed ones.
