Struts

[tony pa]

does anybody have views on weather you should fit a top suspension strut,and if so what would be the advantages / disadvantages if any.

Do you mean a brace?

[tony pa]

yes thats what i meant i thought that when i did the post cheers daz

Advantages: Better cornering. Looks cool.

Disadvantages: Usually pricey. Useless unless your into racing/drifting your car.

Looks the business though don't they!? :D

Would love one for my E28

ye they look good but ive heard they let the rest of the car feel twitchy and maybe with rear wheel drive you might loose some control,dont know this becouse i have not got one fitted,but it seems logical that the back end would move more.

As Daz says... To get the full benefit out of a strutt brace, the car would need to be sat lower and have stronger ARBs too.

The brace and ARB combo attempts to eliminate chassis "twist" therefore pressing the tyres more firmly to the tarmac ;)
