   Yes IMO they make a lot of difference, when I took my upper one off my furio I could tell the handling was a lot more sloppy.
   
   Lots of places to buy them from I have used www.kamracing.co.uk or www.strutbracer.co.uk but they don’t seem to have a good reputation with delivery any more so would stick to using Kam Racing.
   
   I have OMP you can get both off Kam:

   Very easy to fit there are lots of guides on here on how to fit them.
   Just use the search button.

   Technically not true, cheaper ones like e-tech are not as strong as others such as Omp and Sparco. They are made from different materials.

   If anything a lower strut brace will do beter then a top one
