Then mounts which you bolt to each turret will probably be crap on the cheap ones and made from aluminium. It will deform and do a crap job. The steel ones are stronger and will stiffen up the car. As far as I know, the OMP ones are steel

Yea, for sure. We pulled an aluminium one off of a Corsa a few weeks back. It had almost pulled the mounting nuts through the holes because it was made from recycled beer cans

have heard that strut braces make a big difference in handling. post a thread in the wanted section for one, maybe get a good second hand one.
