Strut brace
Would an upper strut brace really do much or is it not worth doing?

Re: Strut brace
I think it makes a difference to lowered cars but it could be a placebo effect knowing it's there and just imagining that it's better
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Strut brace
I know from experience that a front and rear strut in a lowered glanza helps fight understeer. I agree Johnny the placebo effect comes into it alot

Re: Strut brace
Just thought they're quite cheap and if it will sort abit of roll before i lower it it could be worth it

Re: Strut brace
They're just a cool thing to own imo. Not sure if it will affect body roll much in corsas on standard suspension, but it should help cornering slightly when you are lowered

Re: Strut brace
It will help a little due to the age off most corsa b's and then having lost a little rigidity, but as Johnny says, you won't really notice it that much, not unless you push your car hard into every bend!
