Lower strut brace???

Any recommendations?

I've been thinking about one from Rally design, I think its an OMP one. Its the type with the tubes on either end so it clears the gearbox towards the front of the car rather than underneath.

Has anyone got one of these fitted? I was wondering how they fit, do they require longer bolts or is the bolt somehow recessed inside the tube?

Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I made one. Must have cost at least ?2.50. 5mm plate for each end and 700mm of 25x2mm box steel. Took under an hour. The Gold paint was free. Works a treat. The bottom arm bolts were more than long enough to cope with the plate. I'll add a photo later.

the omp sturt fits on easy with normal bolt and is the only strut out of top back and lower that works so fit one asap :D
