I cant find any on zcentre. The eBay one is fine if your just after it for looks.

 

If you want a functional brace then avoid any with hinges or adjustment

 

Check splparts.com and powertrix.com for Carbing or similar

Ah, I see.. nice.... but obviously more price and imported....

Yes its more money but it will do wot is says on the label..... brace the strut towers.

 

The ebay one will do what I would expect a £20 piece of bling to do... look nice.... nothing more.

As Yowser says its hinged. so it wont brace anything.

well yeah I need that asap but the cost is still important for my I dont want to spend over £200 for strut bar. Thaks guys for help I think today I will try to buy one from ebay.

Get the one on ebay for the mounts, then get a garage to weld 2 bars from each strut to the mid point on the bulkhead - job done, but is there really any need? Stiffening up the chassis isn't always a positive thing. Essentially 80-90% of people just want one for bling, if that's the case go with whatever it's all good :)

And just to add ...

 

If you're only adding a strut brace at the front, forgetting for a moment whether it is actually functional or not, you will be "upsetting" the suspension handling of the car. You should always ad strut braces front and rear.

 

If the point of the exercise is to make the car corner flatter and to make any oversteer more progressive and manageable, then you'll have to stiffen up the tops of the suspension by adding front and rear strut braces PLUS add uprated front and rear anti-roll bars.

 

As said above, any strutbrace that has "hinges" will not do anything to improve structural rigidity. Go for a single piece brace such as the Powertrix braces. These were specifically developed to fit under the bonnet of the Z32 whereas 99% of the ebay jobbies will foul on the throttle cover and underside of the bonnet.

 

As for anti-roll bars, the adjustable Stillen parts are the best (IMHO).

 

You pay for what you get, end of.

 

Just my 2p worth ;-)
