Mike2006 0 Posted June 5, 2011 Hi, What are the options and recommendations with respect to front and rear upper strut braces? Advice, pics and good sources please. If you're selling please feel free to pm me. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 5, 2011 Rear strut brace is easy.. the trimsport one is very good. Front not so easy as almost all the manufacturers out there are US or German based and of course make the braces for LHD cars - which simply don't fit UK cars as bits in the engine bay are in the wrong place :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted June 5, 2011 I'm not sure whether that'd clear VR6 engine though... but I guess Mike would be ok with a G60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike2006 0 Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks for quick replies. I've a new trimsport and a brand new Eibach I sourced for my MK2 project. I think I have another trimsport in storage so that can go on rear. I'll go chase another Eibach (didn't think they'd be absolutely identical but it makes sense that they are). Any other options up front? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted June 5, 2011 ....I've got a mk2 eibach front brace on my VR6. It's a bit of a fiddle to drill the holes due to the rain tray, but that's probably true for whatever engine. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
