You'll probably notice if you get both done at the same time. I bought mine at the same time, but didn't get the lower one done until my coilovers were on

I can't say anything. I sold it because I didn't get round to doing it!

As for the difference they make, I personally felt the upper one did make a difference when I fitted it.

Don't say that.....I really hope they do, I've ordered mine & I'm getting it fitted when my coilovers are fitted!

Meant to stiffen up the chassis slightly for better handling
