    Benefit of a strut brace?

    Is there any?

    I have a 182 and was just wondering what improvement it
    Could make if any at all.

    Or are they just for looks

    Looks unless you get the pure motorsport one.

    Nothing apart from your wallet would be lighter and you could mount a camera to it.

    Why only Pure Motorsport?

    Opinion or fact? Why?

    Pure motorsport because it actually mounts to the struts not just the strut tower.

    these guys make a front strut in polished aluminum that weighs less than 600 gramms for about £110.
    I'd go for this, granted it does f**k all al least its light

    What's the best form of contacting you guys for some work on my car without calling?

    Is that not what solid top mounts are for? I use a brace to strength the chassis. Certainly with pug 205s you can notice a difference.

    I like to think its doing something but I doubt it is.

    Just looks shiny and pretty in the engine bay, and the rear one creaks like mad.
