yeah, i guess ive never driven a car hard round corners. i guess i dont live in the countryside and drive on country roads everyday. ive no experience at all. infact, you really do know best as you live in milton keynes which has loads of twisty roads and uneven surfaces.

the English cars have a rear arb standard

i can only go off what i think of my own car. whiteline noticed nothing, rear strut brace noticed noting front one noticed a touch, removing front arb handles better but possibly causes grip issues setting off.
im back using the avo shocks now with adjustable top mounts all set up as best as could get it and its bang on. car is probably only lowered maybe 30 on front and rear

i dont understand the rear strut braces that attach to the top of the shockers.

i have one of them, keeps the shocks fixed apart and stops flex in shock rubbers surely?
again less play in mounts at high G force corning?
talking of play in bushes, my front top mounts are fooked!!!

if thats the case why are all front strut braces bolted from strut top to strut top and not between the tops of the shockers?
i just cant see how thats supposed to help massively at all
