Strut Brace

You should bolt it on all three in order to keep the strut from twisting under hard steering.

The upper strut mount is bolted not welded. By ony supporting 1 bolt you are keeping the rear of the strut nice and tight but allowing the front to "float". It will make an improvement but there is plenty more that is just not doing.

sorry ...

assumed you meant the strut tower.

yeah the strut mount should have at least two bolts in.

but gary, what would you charge to make just the strut mounts???

perhaps we could make them lower so that we get proper bonnet clearance?

The bar is the key. You cant simply lower the bar cause of the clearance above the motor. As mine stands now, there is about 5mm clearance above the motor and about 2mm clearance under the bonnet.

I wont sell just the plates because I line them up with the bar on the car so I know it fits. I wont put my name to something if I know its not 100% correct, sorry guys.

Is any of you guys in CT? I've made those strut Braces, for most vehicles, front and rear

Latest ones is for Uno and Astina front and rear.

Thats why I'm looking for someone in CT.

All my friends got highly modified SX's so I can't make it from their cars.
