Nova lower front strut brace

[dumpycorsa]

Just wondering if it's worth getting one and where can I get one as I can't find one anywhere. Do people normally make their own?

[Pistol Pete]

I'm sure someone on here made one cant remember who!

they have a lot more relevance than a rear strut brace. you do see them on the bay every few months..

[belly257]

im interseted in making one, would you bolt them from each bottom arm bolt?

Who ever makes 1 make me 1 too lol

Rear brace is a fantastic mod to do, really stiffens up the rear end.
A must do.

Didnt find the lower front did much when i tryed it years back.

There very hard to get hold of, although Ive sold 4 in the last 12 months. Only thing is a lot of them are blatently in th way of the exhuast system.

This is how they fit:

Rear Gearbox mount clashes.

Oh have you tried it? as thats what i asked mike, if it would clear or not?

[Mike]

No ive not tried it mate, nice one loggy for the heads up though ;)

[Pistol Pete]

Whats the solution for exhaust clearence, mike. Or have you not got that far yet?!

[Mike]

Not got that far yet lol but ill have a custom downpipe as mines boosted anyway.

[dumpycorsa]

could it not be made (if you were making one)to sit higher but not hit the gear box mount or even bend under the bulk head a little?

They must make a difference as alot of cars have them. My mates E36 m3 has one standard so do some renaults etc

[loggyboy]

even if it could sit over the mount, it would almost certainly hit the gearbox itself.
