yes,tighten things right up,
get a welded in rear if you can as they work a hell of a lot better,
if not get one that bolts to the body work,not to the strut tops,
and a good front one aswell,

i guess that the rear one can be cut and welded in just below the strut tops then.

the make of it dosent matter really, its just how you wnat it to look really lol

[Benn]

front ones good,
does the rear go on the sturt tops?
the better ones are welded to the body,

and i dont have a spare wheel well,

[leebo]

I can see the wells gone but what i mean is what you doing for a spare wheel?

The rear one bolts onto the strut tops but i will cut the ends of it and weld it in. I can see form the pics that yous added steel eather side of the brace. I take it there for strengthening it all?
