Think I want a STi strut brace now. ;/


seen on ebay the AEM strut brace.. looks good.... looks good for only £242

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AEM-2-POIN...item3ce113b704

The STi one seems to be on import only

Does anybody have a part number? or a link would be even better.
Had a handling pack fitted by AST on Friday:

Power steering mod including steering rack bushes
Front strut brace
Rear upgraded ARB with reinforcing stays
Rear subframe bush inserts
Four wheel alignment
(Also had some other bushes changed on the front arms that were showing wear.

The difference is immediately apparent. Steering feels much more direct and positive. Feels more composed over bumps and uneven ground and less twitchy at speed. Highly recommended. The only slight downside is that the noise from tyres seem to be slightly louder (I might be imaging it though!)

Clyne I can send you the part numbers of the invoice if that helps?

The handling pack is 800 including VAT. I had requested the front arm bushes on top so total was 860. This is basically the Litchfields Handling Pack as shown on their website (but slightly cheaper). Ian at Litchfield is currently too busy to fit this kit so he put me in touch with Curtis at AST. In fact Curtis developed it for Litchfield anyway. Great service too! Highly recommended!
