Do strut braces actually make a noticeable difference on a car, if you fitted a front and rear for example?

coilovers + front and rear struts do transform the way a car drives and tbh is all thats needed, i was happy with mine with a 3 point rear strut and cusco front strut ( not a corsa though only had a rear strut on a corsa and that changed handling a bit )..

if your going to mod it for handling id go for decent coilovers, strut braces front and back, lower anti sway bars and anti lift kit + lsd if you got spare cash to throw around.

i dont want to throw money into the car and make it a pit.

iv'e got Gaz coilovers on the car now, but they've seen better days. so just looking at keeping it simple by getting new coilovers. If strutbraces are worth the £ then i'd look into those. Never bought a strut brace before so im just seeing if they're do actually work, and by what you said, they do seem worth looking into

Dont think i'd benifit a LSD in the clio, can put the power down quite well with the bhp it is.
