Strut Brace Enquiry

Post by Roge1 » Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:11 pm

Hey Lads & Lasses,

Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I'm interested if anyone has fitted a front strut brace, if it made any difference, and where they managed to get it from!??

One of my previous cars (unfortunately I've had quite a few) was an early Saab 9-3, though just a 2.0l it had been lowered slightly and had a front strut brace fitted (by a previous owner) so managed to retain decent speed whilst cornering (great on the backroads near here).

The Celeb seems decent enough 'as standard', but can it be improved??

Thanks

Roge1
