anti-roll bars/strut brace - views

[ade]

Been reading articles ref anti roll bars, strut braces etc and their benefits - but what do u lot think?
Lowered me car 60mm recently and its much better at cornering but I'm wondering whether anti roll bars/strut brace (both?) will make any more of a difference to the handling
My Novas a 1.2 mk2 and the roads up by me are usually all national speed limit but can be twisty.
Is there a specific roll bar/strut brace for my nova or will any brace/roll bar fit? :-/

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotamy!

Fitting roll bars to a standard nova has a massive positive affect on handling. The 1st suspension mod i did to my mk2 1.2i was roll bars, i got both front and back with all fittings for ?25. Fitted both in an hour and the handling was far superior, body roll was reduced by leagues. I would highly recommend u get them fitted ade. Even though u have lowered the suspension, i still think roll bars will improve your handling even further. Plus u get great gains for little expense with this mod.
Hows the K & N filter running anyways?

Forgot to mention, roll bars from any sr/sri/gte/gsi/TD will fit your nova. sri/gte/gsi bars have a slightly larger diameter, however SR ones are just as effective.

Tony - K&N makes pretty big difference - good power improvements which for a 1.2 suprised me (good enough for me to notice neway) - strangely improves mileage too!
Mike - will e-mail u ref strut braces - v interested.
