Hiya guys,

Are these worthwhile fitting?? Do they tighten the rear end noticably??

Also are the front lower strut (h brace) make much difference?

cheers

IMHO:

Front lower brace:

Worth it if the suspension has Poly bushes. If stock rubber bshes, not much point as suspension will shimmy about under load.

Rear brace:

I feel solid bushes, whiteline lock kit AND the rear subframe bushes are far more influential than the brace you can add between the rearmost lower lateral rods.

Yes rear lower arm - does tighten things up - more noticable if u really push in the corners.

I would say a rear strut bar does more however in tightening up the rear.

Worth doing - really depends on what else u have or haven't done ?

Ive put one in on my v4 - its a nice little improvement.
