How much was the fronty one? I got the back one already and wasn't very happy with the allen key bolts you get with it, don't trust me doing them up real tight.

reminds me I still have a Spoon front cross in the shed, I'll see if I can fit it this weekend, hopefully will make up a bit for the scrape.

I've got the Whiteline front top n' bottom braces.

Really tightens the car up, especially on bad roads.

Ride and front grip both much improved.

I am considering a rear brace, as the poor arse now gets jittered/slung all over the place! (or considering not getting one, as it's rather good fun!)

having had a good blast yesterday, mostly looking for cash point machines jason!

i did notice the improvement a lot less flexing and the back end seemed more planted when hard cornering.


clean underneath?, i was quite suprised at how clean it was, but it does need a little cleaning i agree want to get the old mans steam cleaner out whilst hes away so with luck i can get it on a ramp and do that.
