how much difference will i feel in the handling if i were to buy one and install it? considering it supposedly flexs and all?
Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

a strut brace will improve your handling but overall it will depend on all the other suspension you already have in the car... obviously if u already have good bushes, shocks and springs then it would be fair to say "your car will handle like its on rails".. but failing that, it will stiffen your chassis up more and make the car handle "better".. :P

I doubt you will notice any benefits of a strut brace unless the car is beng driven on the limit.. ie around corners on a track.

Stands to reason you would be able to notice them on the road then given that you were a demanding driver.. :)

Organised! Will see you there grum! ( Yes, I have called him, and strut braces should be available to all austarion members soon!) Maybe someone else should have organised a meeting to get measurements done before the new year, and not bailed on grum! ( Hint, Hint!) Shame!
