Courier turned up this morning with another box from Japan. A beautifully crafted C-One strut brace...

The quality of finish of this is absolute perfection. Comes with all the nuts and bolts required plus a new bracket to re-locate the WAI overflow bottle.

Fitment was straightforward with all the holes lining up exactly. If this doesn't stop the front towers from moving, nothing will laugh.gif

Took the car for a blat this afternoon and the car certainly turns in a lot sharper due to the suspension geometry being kept in check. Less movement between the towers means the struts move in and out less so everything stays as it should and the car handles better as a result. So it's not just pure bling after all smile.gif

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
