Strut braces should hold the chassis surrounding the suspension, eg the strut top. :D

Could be wrong....

best ones are prob the weld in variety between the rear struts, like a skinny piece of scaffolding with curved plate welded to the ends, and then welded to the body between the struts. kinda weighty that setup tho. a little while back on my previous nova, i never got round to doing it, but i had an idea to use a length of square aluminium tube with a hole drilled thru it at either end and bolted to the rear seat mounts, not sure how effective it would have been, but would have been light and would have helped out somewhat.

The one im selling is much better than the ones that bolt onto the top of the suspension ( i had one previously). You can either weld or bolt them between the inner wheel housings. Mine is bolted.
