I'm after a rear strut brace for a MY00 wagon. I've search the posts and picked up on the STi, whiteline and Cusco. Does anyone know if these (exception to STi - is it a really 5DR brace PTMW?) or any others will fit with the rear roll-cover or whatever it is on....silly plastic blind

If they do can anyone point into the direction of suppliers, preferably in the UK.

Thanks in advance

Gossy's got the Cusco rear and I think he can still use the load cover.

Gossy!!!!! any comment?

Cusco on 5 door doesn't foul the load cover, but does tighten things up nicely

Thanks D and D. Where did you buy the Cusco one from, is it the 2-point or 3-point brace?

Are they easy to fit or do I need the geometry set-up as well?

Thanks in advance

I fitted one on my 4 dr. Didn't get the geom done, but some say it should be. (if you don't load up the brace and move the towers you haven't changed the goem.)IMO

I got mine in For sale.
But you could call:
-RC Developments: 01606 78606 www.rcdevelopments.com
-Option motorsport: 01327 858555

It really does stiffen the rear up

Hope that helps,
Iain.

Cusco on a 00MY 5Dr.....big improvement.

You need to cut the plastic top-caps, on-top of the suspension turrets...

Loadcover works fine.

Comes in two parts - bar accross the top of the turrets. Second Y-piece bolts to this and the floor of the boot!!!!!!!!

I`ve only got the bar at the mo.......not cheap though!

Got mine from JW Racing. Banner ad on here. Was a Cussco.
Easy to fit, plastic strut covers to cut a little bit out of and load cover is OK.
Delivery was abit extended.
Do not move car or jump about in it while fitting and geometry should not change.
