That's the idea, it should be ok with the weight of the car on the struts.

My strut braces longer strut bolts that come in the packaging are shorter than the standard ones in my car, so its the standard ones in there.

I just used the standard bolts too as I only got the brace from Mountain when he sold it to me

I will be transplanting it into the Coupe when I get it (hopefully next week some time). Will also need to learn how to get my Sony head unit to work with the JBL amp (which I gather is something akin to black magic)

No, I gotta sell the saloon. Am going to see the guy who sprayed my spoiler tomorrow to see how much he'd charge for fixing the damage White Van Man did last weekend.

Suppressors? I think my head unit has pre-amp outputs for connecting to a 3rd-party amplifier, but I'm not sure. I'll look into it more when I get the car.

£30 doesnt seem to bad, but could the brace be painted with a bit of spray i have the same as the cars, and is it hard to put in, there isnt any special technique to avoid breaking anything, i see some come with bigger bolts

recommend Ade , quick and spot on :D
