I've got a front one fitted and if I'm honest it doesn't do alot. It stops alittle body roll but not much. There are much better suspension mods i.e. Rear Anti-roll bar, drop links and springs etc. For £75 for both seems a good price though.

there was some available through ebay last year that were very cheap copies, would bend very easily.

better off saving for the original versions.

Simple strut braces make very little (if any) real difference, unless the car is made of plasticene. In order to work properly any brace needs to triangulate against the front bulkhead/firewall. An inner wing brace is a different matter though.....
