white line and i think perrin ? are the same people , strut brace does a bit coilovers do a lot more , rear arb is not cheap you will also need the uprated mounts or yours will snap , by the time you do the arb plus mounts then you may as well go coil overs if it’s in the budget , i had coilovers plus added a used arb on a mid setting i did not notice any change by adding the arb

Thanks for putting me on to that it was exactly what I was looking for and more. I bet those genuine braces are hard to come by. Didn't want no ebay or m2 motorsport crap they probably flex more than the chassis does. Will try to get it on next weekend and put a pic on.
