does anyone know if they\'ll make any diference at all to the handling with standard suspention?

Nothing you\'ll be able to notice through the steering wheel. Your Corsa handles badly because it\'s got a crap chassis - even Lotus\' changes in 97 didn\'t help matters much.

Get them anyway, I\'ve got the full set - if nothing else they give you the psychological edge.

yeah everyone who has one says they make a difference, im dubious tho myself. if nothing else they look nice tho

yup they sure do thats half the reason i want them. the other half being my car handles like jelly but then doesnt every standard corsa

Fitting them won\'t make the slightest bit of difference to your woolly handling. You need to fit a decent suspension kit and anti roll bars.

you\'ll probs notice some difference on a decent suspension set up methinks

Nope, still no difference.

negative doom gloom

Not at all. If they made a difference then I\'d wax lyrical about their benefits.

Why get someone\'s hopes up?

they gotta do something really. otherwise they wouldnt make them, although i do look at them and think what difference does that make

The idea is they stop Chassis flex

Problem is chassis doesn\'t really flex on a corsa without cracking anyway

They make the company money. Off the shelf strut braces on a Corsa are a cosmetic item. I\'m not saying don\'t get one, I\'ve had three different upper strut braces and also lower and rear braces.

Incidentally, I\'ve got a couple of Wiechers Sport alloy lower front strut braces for the Corsa B for sale - only for pre 97 models...
