just wondered if anybody had vfitted one to a sport befour as i tried doednt seem 2 fit as the front cat gets in way

 

as you've found out it won't fit

front upper, rear upper and rear lower will fit fine but to be honest you will get a lot more benefit from other suspension mods first and then worry about braces further on down the modding road

 

With the Whiteline brace iirc there is a 'bent' one for cat cars, and straight for decats.
Just as gljam says, there are many more things to do well before such braces take effect.
