the corsa ones are spasticated shape any other reason except some things being in the way on a corsa and not a nova..?

they are designed to be direct bolt on. which means bending round the exhaust and everything

£15? I have read a few threads regarding lower braces. Some say they don't do anything and others say they are useful.

For that price they are worth trying.

Civic or Teg item per chance? Loving my universaly used lower brace pic now :)

EDIT: Evo item?

BTW dont hold your hopes of a Corsa item fitting. And Nova ones fetch decent on eBay, mine were regualry making £40 to £50

Still wont fit i dont think.

Upper Corsa braces dont fit Nova's unless you remove the double threaded peice completely, an weld the two halfs together. I know that as ive done it.
