   I was just wondering, does a strut brace make a difference to your car if it is'nt lowered?? or do you only feel the benefit if its lowered??

   Should feel a general difference either way mate. Not a huge amount - but it'll be noticable

   no rear strut brace for saxo as it has no rear struts. you'll notice a difference with both front upper and lower braces, although more so with the lower one.
