   Althought the top brace does increase chassis strength the lower brace will make the most difference.
   
   Check out www.rallydesign.com for best prices on OMP braces, but Id get in contact with Kris (VTSKris) first in ref for the top brace.
   
   Worth mentioning OMP and Sparco braces are a simple direct fit where as somepeople have had trouble with cheaper braces that needed the fuel cut off switch moved (the big red button by the passanger tower)
   
   This is my OMP, got it from www,rallydesign.com and Im sure both Upper and Lower came to under an ton (£100 if you didnt know)
