grumbly, I am going to be paying you for two front strut braces soon. Do I get the price of the two like stated for the front and back, or is it just two lots of the front? Just need to know for when I transfer the money. Thanks

Starion Turbo, Grumbly, Toysrus. With the rear one. I have 6x9 speakers in parcel shelf. Will it foul on them? Obviously holes in trim will be required.

The bar goes about 1inch behind the shock mounts, so it should be ok. also, you can turn the bar upside down.

I was more interested in the height above the strut mounts.

I have around 40mm from the top of the strut tower. If the brace can be put in upside down then there should be the room?

If I could try the test bar in the car sometime it would be appreciated. I saw the final product from the cordia power people. Looks great but welds seem a bit small for my liking? If they were to fail it would have already happened though.

Cordia's had Tig welded stainless steel, these are Mig welded 3mmHRPO mild steel. Welds will be larger.
Also, the forces act parrallel to the welds, not perpendicular, so strength of the welds is not a major issue.
Bar sits only 10-20mm above the height of the bolts.
With bar inverted there should be plenty of room.
You are welcome to try the test bar, just let me know when you want to meet up ( I am in the Blakeview/ Munno Para area)

Sounds like a goer...
When is it better for you to meet weekdays, afternnons(after 3ish), weekends.

During the week of the 18th to 22nd I will be on holidays, so could easily sort something out then. If all fits well I will hand you the cash there and then.
