strut brace

[johntheboy]

Thinking of getting a lower one myself but dont fancy doing the upper one due to the drilling. Is it generally seen as a bit pointless doing it this way?

That's one less job then, thanks .

Not looking forward to the drilling though on the upper

Just make sure you have some very sharp drill bit's, mine was a pig to get through.

There are 2 small round recesses in the strut tops, these line up perfectly with the strut brace, one each side, so drill these two first, then bolt the strut brace on, then just use the strut brace as a guide and drill through.

Be sure to use new or very sharp bits, otherwise you will be there for a while!!

The top one is worth doing it does actually make a difference, a little of a handling improvement but there is an upside that is dash board rattles have decreased a lot since I've fitted one.

That's worth the mod alone

bottom makes adifference, i have the top one in place , just needs drilling and bolting now, so m10is the size to get then

best thing to do when drilling hole is start of with small drill bit i.e 3m then work your way up through the sizes. a sharp 3m bit should fly in making the bigger sizes eaiser to go through
