which upper front strut brace should i buy for a saxo vtr 2001

26th March 2007, 13:00

omp ones are very good, they also do a lower one.
I have an e-tech one, but thats more for show really.

26th March 2007, 13:16

Ive got top and bottom OMP ones on mine. Cant fault them atall

26th March 2007, 14:45

same as wilsy

26th March 2007, 14:47

upper OMP for me aswell

26th March 2007, 14:48

e tec will be about as good at keeping the struts 'braced' as a hooker is at keeping her legs together on rent pay day

Are they really that much worse, theyre more expensive arent they? They must do something

26th March 2007, 15:21

they look good...

i never noticed when i had mine on the vtr

26th March 2007, 15:34

The OMP is on mine as its adjustable and the E-tec isn't im pretty sure thats why everyone would say the OMP is better because you can stiffen it up

have you not seen how flimsy they are???

its nothing to do with the omp being adjstable, its to do with the fact its strong and is there for a purpose.

Can you notice a big diff when you put on upper & lower struts?

I always thought it wouldnt make a noticeable difference!

26th March 2007, 16:53

I fitted upper struts on me vtr and s and noticed major difference specially around islands

26th March 2007, 16:57

a lower brace in mosr peoples opinion will make the most difference. which i hope as i will not be able to run a upper brace on my car with the engine and airbox configuration

27th March 2007, 19:45

is this a good price

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OMP-Upper-Lowe...QQcmdZViewItem

and will this fit my 2001 vtr mk2 as it says vts i have checked on omp website but no vtr one listed

27th March 2007, 20:11

yes it will fit, but try strutbracer.co.uk/.com

email them, ask if they have any in stock, cost me 52 quid from there new mate.

im pretty sure they have them in stock, cos they are selling that strut brace! just go on there website cos its cheaper

27th March 2007, 20:15

id say omp if your a rally slag and an e-tech one if your a style whore lol

E-Tech does adjust a tiny bit

27th March 2007, 20:18

im a style whore then

27th March 2007, 20:36

ive had a e-tech brace, was nice and shiney and easy to fit.
im looking into getting an omp upper and lower strut brace as i have herd very good things about them

27th March 2007, 20:41

very good bozmiester, ive have them both, they are grrrrrrreat

27th March 2007, 20:43

so i have herd, defo getting a set

27th March 2007, 20:46

Ive had a sparco upper and an omp upper, you can notice a little bit of tightness i suppose!?

The lower one will show more gains

27th March 2007, 21:02

my mate had a sparco upper on his corsa, he had coilovers too. it ended up making a crease around the door pillars as it was stiff as fook lmbo

27th March 2007, 21:18

I have a sparco one and to get it on was a pain.

Had to take something off (still dont know what it is) and had to bend some metal back cos it was rubbing. Its on now but it was a pain!
