Hi all,
Received my strut brace from Chip Centre today and have fitted it, as you can see below...
Now for the comments...
For 146 Euros, I'm a bit disappointed with the finish. Ok it's chrome plated but it's not the smoothest of finishes.
When you fit it, the sections that bolt to the top of the struts bend a lot under bolt tension, and I'm sure I heard some of the chrome plating cracking
However, it's design which is quite flat (about 70mm wide/20mm high) will, I reckon, do the job well. I haven't been out to try it yet as the roads round here are presently a bit greasy and frankly, at this time of night, I decided I was better off sitting down to have a beer...
