As title, have everything else being sorted with Whiteline bits from Demon Tweeks. I don't want to spend silly money, just something stiff please.

MRT (and I thought it was Whiteline) do a lower 4P brace too - I've one in my garage waiting to go on.

Did you talk to David about the Powerflex bushes too?

Fitted a MRT (whiteline) 4 point lower brace 3 weeks ago from Jap Innovations £100, What a difference, Corners have become so much more fun & can be tackled at even sillier speeds. Well worth the Dosh in My book.

Unhappy

Maybe I'm a cynic but it looks to me that the existing fabricated steel crossmembers which this piece of light alloy 'jewelry' doubles up with is going to be much much stiffer than the added brace. So whats the point of it?

That is what I always thought, but at higher levels of power those of my friends who know how to drive reckon my chassis is flexing too much. Alan G's car with a load of braces felt very nice and planted. Similar spec otherwise.

I thought the same & that it would have little effect, But the whole car becomes alot tighter feeling, Other people that have fdriven my car cannot believe what a difference it makes, It's like being on rails.

Talking

I will add to the list who have done this mod (Whiteline), it realy does do a great job.
I have all the Whiteline bits on now plus the new MRT adjustable top mounts, with the bushes now ALL Powerflex. The car is set-up with the data from Whiteline and the car is GREAT! Just got the engine up to 314 bhp, so I may need all this suspension stuff!
Whiteline do seem to know what to do, trust them.
