Right tried searching but all i got was a load of pooper scoop stuff.

i've got a corsa with B pillars that arent cracked (thats right!) its a 98 S reg 1.6 and i don't want them cracking like they started to on my 96 P reg 1.4 on -35mm springs

just got a full g-max kit -40mm and some poly bushes on order (top mounts front and back and anti roll bar and rear beam).

question is: would strut braces anywhere stop the pillars cracking? should i do it? do i need to do it? which ones should i do? would just a front stop this? and i don't want to be bracing everywhere if there really isn't any need

thank you lovely people

I'm sure that this problem was only on the earlier shells.

Earlier being pre facelift.
