cheers AB. i`m gonna try and find somewhere who can supply one by the end of next week. i was on Unit 8`s website. got a bit confused. theyve got rear upper strut brace! i thought there was only lower rear ones!

Cant see AB`s pic for some reason now. but if its only a shield that can be held as described then i might just go with it if i cant get a cusco one.

i dont understand how companies like spoon can forget to put holes in for oem parts when the part is specifically built for that car.

had a look on the bulletproof automotive site. the lower rear braces are referred to as tie bars and you can also purchase rear strut bars too. ive never anyone on here mention them.

has anyone used them? would using one of these in conjuction with a lower tie bar make the back end even less twitchy as blue stated earlier.

spoon build race parts, I don't think they're too worried about the evap can shield being there or not. You could ask them if there is another specific reason they didn't bother.

The Spoon rear brace is good but I don't like the fact that you can't put the fuel evap can shield back on.

I am using the Cusco one which has holes for it.
... or the Comptech one, which I've got on mine. It also has the extra holes.

He he the good ole Spoon argument, form and function is the way. A couple of cable ties and rubber sticky and all is fine
