   Hey,
   
   Found this on ebay, looks ok and pretty cheap, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...6839&rd=1&rd=1
   
   Do you think it would do the job ok for that price? My cars due to be lowered in the next few month, so any small help for keeping stiffness would be great. Not looking to spend loads on a strutbrace.
   
   Could I fit it myself? Looks like a socketset is just needed to undo the nuts onto of the front sus? I dont have powersteering aswel but I cant see that effecting it, no?
   
   Thanks everyone.
