   OMP is a brand that's up there that's for sure, I believe there are adjustable strut braces out there. Always good if you wanna play around a bit.

   If I were you I'd just go for the OMP ones. There's the Satchell one but that's £120 for the lower only.
   
   If you want to spend less just buy the lower one. Makes the most difference

   Careful with second hand lower braces though as a lot are bent! Very easy to catch it especially when lowered.

   Thanks all. There is a discount at the mo so there £108 but as said may just get to 100 posts and have a look at the for sale section got my insurance, tax and mot in august so wont be able to afford it till at lest November any way :s
   
   Also I image there's a lot of battered 2nd hand lower braces out there. My last sax had a lower brace which scraped on most speed bumps!

    The Satchell Engineering one sits higher to clear speed bumps and is about 10x stronger so stiffens up the front chassis legs better than any other brand on the market. I wouldn't fit anything else now!!
