That one will look good but you will need one made out of steel, Aluminum ones flex.

They ain't suppose to flex even for the road, the aluminium ones are more for show then actually being a strut brace. they do offer a bit of bracing between the turrets but nowhere near as good as a steel one.

think your missing the point of the strut brace here Vinny, it's job is to stop the chassis flexing and reduce bodyroll.
so buying an aluminium one is just defeating the purpose mate and already pointed out your just being a posing pr1ck :lol:

yep right over my head,sorry :oops:

i thought that ally flexes more than steel but still better than not having one atall and as it would be for the road also its good to have a bit of flex,but im beginning to think im wrong
