strut brace fit

[valverlimiter]

going to order omp front and rear upper braces soon but the front looks like its guna foul brake fluid res and exspanion tank. do they clear and can u still open exspanion tank???

coolant tank will be fine but the brake fluid res will be covered by the strut brace so to top up the brake fluid you will need to remove the strut brace.

cheers. do u know if they come with the fittings with the braces?
was guna put some hel brake hoses and change fluid later but best do it before! u got uprated hoses on yours, if so much difference?

Can't remember now, was a while ago when I fitted it... think I used stonger bolts from work instead. The braided hoses I can't really say I seen a difference because I fitted them when I fitted my brembo's lol.

You may have to take the rear bolt out of the expansion tank and turn it ever so slightly. But you are talking fractions. I had to do that with mine.
