Strut Brace

Couple of people at tyresmoke.net recommended getting a strut brace fitted to stiffen up the polo, any ideas of the best place to get one, looked on ebay but open to other suggestions and has anyone had one fitted?

I fitted one last October, OMP front upper which I got as a birthday present, but it came from Demon Tweeks.

Heres my post on fitting it with pics: http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... trut+brace

Definitely worth doing, sharpens turn in and just gives a more solid feel to the front end.

This is definately one of my plans if I find a GTI

You can get them quite cheap on ebay.

Well they seem cheap enough, here's the link to one for sale.

I was considering getting one but not sure it would fit with where i've got my BMC fitted or if you need to move the coolant expansion tank.

Might get a lower one though.

im after a bmc but if i fit a strut brace will it prevent me from fitting a bmc?

No, an OMP upper strut brace does not affect your ability to fit a BMC kit.

Haha, took me a littel while to spot the OMP then! Red on red for ultimate stealth

Yeah I left the sticker on so I could find it again

That's cool. i didn't think it would fit.

Might get myself one of those now.
