front strut brace vs brake bulkhead brace

 

You can only fit one, what do you go for - better brakes? or better handling?

 

Or is there a way to have both?

Hi Steve,

 

Not sure I follow ...

 

A strut brace will improve handling of the car through corners. The brake brace won't improve your braking, just the pedal feel as it stops the firewall flexing and thereby reducing the "spongey" feeling of the pedal.

 

I have got a Carbing front strut brace fitted AND a DTA brake brace bracket - no problem as they are fixed in different locations.

 

So therefore you can have both! ;)

I've only ever fitted both to the same car once and had no problems with fitting

 

The Brake brace bolts to the same place as the Cruise control unit, while the strut brace bolts to the err..struts. :)

I always thought they occupied the same space and it was one or the other? Thanks for the info!

 

EDIT : I mean I thought that if you had the bulkhead brace fitted, it stuck out too far to fit the strut brace..
