Welcome to the forum Amlestra

Camskill, Ricerocket or JDMperformance all sell Strut braces.
They certainly help with improving the FTO's rigidity and handling.

Camskill have a good deal on F&R strut braces - seem to be out of stock at the moment - might be worth calling them and seeing when they're back in.

I got mine from Kempy's in New Zealand. From recollection I thought they were cheaper than Camskill

Ditto, even with shipping, Kempys were cheaper at the time...

Isn't that the FET one I was buying from you before? :? You never got back to me on actual postage cost or responded to my pms. If you can let me know how much postage to Cork would be, or can hold onto it until the meet in a couple of weeks I'll still take it off you.

I bought a front brace from Kempys in NZ. The brace was 120 nz$ and postage 80! So all in about 99euros which is pretty good. They told me at the time that it was the last one but they also have a rear one for same money that I didn't take. :) It's not one of those 'fake' ones by the way!
