Strut Braces

[ydg27]

is it hard to make your own strut braces and do they give much improvement?

The proper made ones people say do make a difference though the corners, and they provide more(but slight) protection should the front end of your car ever take a wack!!!. May prevent the wings/struts from collapsing in as they tie together the strut tops making them slightly less flexible.

You could make your own provided you had the right tools, but it ain't really worth the hassle. Just get a Sparco/OMP one for about ?45.
