   I've got E-Tech, only becasue I'll hopefully weld the mounts to the top of the struts, and will still be able to remove the strut brace element of it.

   there wouldn't be a noticable difference, omp do a lower one which is ment to be a great improvement.

   yeah, upper strut braces do very little imo unless you are absolutely ragging it constantly you wont notice a difference, they are mainly just for looks under the hood tbh, lower struts are better for improving handling

   Sparco strut brace is theroetically the best in terms of design. Not a fan of the way the omp one isn't straight.
   
   But yes, lower strut brace does do a fair bit. Be careful though as it hangs quite low under the car..

   The omp steel one is better than the etech
   with regard the etech on the 306 you can actualy get it to bend if you stand it on its end and pull down on the end.
