Handle gains will largely nothing.

But they look cool :)

Mine feels a bit more solid, not sure if its psychosomatic though! Buy one and try it out! It wouldn't surprise me if Nova Turrets actually did flex under hard cornering, considering the biscuit tin build quality.

Mine made a very noticable difference to the handling on my car.

So did mine, but its hard for me to compare properly as I put quite a few mods on at once. Rosejoints, poly bushes, Grp A plating kit & then a Sparco alloy brace a few days in. Sure I felt something of a difference.

Someone needs to develop a pukka lower brace too. I'd have one.

Well this is here, my nova xe doesn't have one which strut brace would you need will I need to remove the SFI box to stop it from being fouled?

not many braces clear the SFI box. get one custom made perhaps.

totally agreed mate!!

Iev got a modified corsa front brace on mine and Fearless Rear one, tbh ive noticed a larger difference with the rear brace then the front one!

As for a lower brace, hell yeah id have one!

if you want a decent lower roll bar mate, all you need to do is stick 2 together, makes them stiffer.


and rear roll bars r the best! ive been told that if you weld in 1 its even better.

Yeah, but a roll bar isnt a strut brace!
