   they are about 35 quid, how low is your car tho? 40 or higher and you can have on, i had one at 50mm, but it scrapped on things

    so even though my handling is tight now it will be way better with both the upper and lower on there?

    The lower strut brace isnt really needed the upper one is more noticable, as the lower arms are already strengthened up. GMC dont really recomend the lower strut brace, but im sure itll stiffen things up a lil... for a few ££ y not i say!
