Default Strut Braces Yes or No?

As the post says are they worth it or not do they make that much of a difference ? just starting to sort out my handling and I was toying with the idea of a front strut brace or not also (Whiteline) alloy droplinks or the standard ones.

Thumbs up

Strut braces are more use in classics than the newage cars, which were built stiffer, (and heavier ).

Most folk leave the FRONT arb alone, but fit an uprated REAR one and solid droplinks all round.

Ive got front & rear, top & bottom braces with solid droplinks attached to an uprated rear anti roll bar. Totally transforms the car, I would recommend getting a 4 wheel laser setup aswell

Front strut brace handy to lean on when you've just dropped that nut/bolt behind the intercooler...
