E-tech Strut Brace...

[Martin]

Hi All... i've never fittted one before... does it just bolt onto my struts... and then i tighten it all up??

Hi mate Pretty straight forward, on your top mounts there are 2 I think 13mm nuts or perhaps 10mm too cold to go outside and look!

Undo the nuts on each side and put the strutbrace on it can be a bit fiddly and the airbox may get in the way but it will go on, adjust the strutbrace if you have an adjustable one to make it fit.

Then just simply put the 13mm nuts back on with the strutbrach in place use washers if the holes in the strutbrace are too big.

Then just whack them up in order ie: tightning the top one up a bit and then the bottom one to make sure it goes on even and to prevent cross threading, do it up pretty tight but dont overdo it you dont want to wreck the threads and that should be job done.

when I done mine i found it tightened up the front end quite noticably.

oki cheers supernova.... will it still fit witha corsa air box?


So it does work then and not just look good in the bay... does it help cornering at speed?

Yeah it will fit with a corsa airbox because they are smaller than standard nova ones and

I found that fitting the strutbrace did make the whole front end of the car feel much stiffer on cornering as it keeps the struts in line and stops them moving while under pressure.

As said they also look good and I think they are a worthwile purchase.

Now get it on!
