iv heard it makes the ride harder, some people have brought them and taken them off within a few weeks

Its the best 50 quid you can spend, i've had mine for a month now and it makes the car noticably tighter when cornering. As for stiffening the ride i can't say i've noticed the Cupra suspension is already rock hard!!

right sweet ill go over saturday and annoy them

not sure if you know but forge motorsport are doing a strut brace for the mk4 ibiza i think its 50quid if your intrested, ill try and find the link for you

 

[Smee]

well the problem is if i am honest... i dont actually own the car.. it is rented from seat via the company.. so its my company car... not ment to be modded... but if its from seat then maybe i am ok with modding it

I am coming to Norlfolk next month

We can meet and I'll fit it for you

 

[redcupratdi]

just fitted mine took 10mins but had to push and 4 swrews in at once so very very tight!

took for a good spin before and after and the result

i'm happy
mostly alot less tyre squeal
tight corners round towns very much easily.
roundabouts alot tidier going around and exiting

i would recommend this for 50 quid it's a bargain!


it makes the front tighter and cornering easiler

Its a worth while mod!

Doesnt Fiat stand for Fix.It.Again.Tony ?

 

[gazjones]

got one on mine and things can be bit stiff up front but got used to it and handles better i though it was fix it again tomorrow!

 

[redcupratdi]

wiht the cupra it makes no difference on ride quality going over bumps, in fact a little nicier!

Smee

I removed it as it made things easier, just dont drop any of the nuts It should only take a few minutes to install the brace including removing that bit and replacing it

 

[gazjones]

yes that box needs removing on the tdi cars

 

[Smee]

wtf is it lol

[gazjones]

erm im not sure one of the tdi owner should be able to tell you!
