I see these lower strut braces a lot, I have never seen a nova with them as I imagine they come really close to the ground, what I want to know is if there are any pictures with this on?
I don't want one I'm just curious, cause I can imagine it will get ripped off first time you go round the block with it on.
Plus on ebay one guy said he used and alloy one and it bended...????!! how much flex was in his chassis. or he smacked it real hard on the ground!
Look in my for sale ad (link in sig). Pretty sure I put a pic of the one I just sold in there. [edit] Ok so not one of it fitted, but there is a pic floating round on here of one fitted
They're not as low to the ground as you might think.

that is intresting, i always see the same ones floating about on ebay though. i wonder what puts people off of them. and how much they really do for your car.

Interesting, I saw one on ebay recently myself and wondered how it actually fitted to the car.
That pic above is the first time I've seen one on a Nova, I guess the fact that you can't clearly see it on display (as opposed to the top strut and rear ones) means people are less likely to consider using them.

Is it me or should this be on the other way up?

Wont fit the other way round. I tried to fit on on my 1.2 but my exhaust was in the way so sold it on. It was also pretty low to the floor, iirc it would have been sitting lower than my Laguna splitter.
Mieran had/has one fitted to his:

Thatd probably hit the floor on mine lol
Looking at how low they sit they are asking to get smashed by the first grid etc you drive over lol

^^^ That can't be right, surely
I have a home made one somewhere, but have never tried to fit it.
