iv seen them for £385 for the f20 and my car could do with one cos if ur in 2nd and plant it the wheels just spin up and its got brand new toyo's lol

my new top strut brace come today should be fitting it over weekend when my lower strut brace comes

i think iv got this same strut brace, but to be honest mate i put mine on and took mine off and couldn't feel any difference, i think the mounts are to Crap and just twist and bend, what i was going to do when i get my redtop is you know the bits that go on the strut tops and where the U shape is on the brace well i was going to weld the centre of the U shape down to the strut top to stop it from lifting and moving and twisting, that should work then because should then put the forces into through the brace as it was designed to instead of just bending the metal brackets and looking nice lol

i dont drive mine day to day because its just a weekend toy but what u got remember is that these engines are gettin old so u can use them everyday but no ragged all the time and service the engine reguarly and for ur speeding points in a corsa redtop u could easly lose ur licence and iv never been pulled myself but its bound to happen so make sure all ur insurance and logbook are correct or u will get done
