I have the Weltmeister, got it from Pelican. It fits under the carpet. I'm in stealth mode!

To adjust the strut, you just turn the adjusting nuts outward until there is a slight resistance. Then lock in place. You are not trying to Preload the towers as this could mess up the alignment.

I just picked up a RUF strut brace off of eBay. I like how solid the tower mounts looked over some other options. I probably won't install in until Spring '06 when I will attempt to install my H&R struts (if I can find a set of matching rears that is).
There has been someone selling nice looking carbon fiber braces in eBay lately for $149 plus S&H. Can't say how durable they are though.

I got mine from ViperBob (DEVEK):
Can't say how effective it is... I just like how it looks
. I wanted a CF part in my car badly!!!
I had to cut the carpet but it was only a small cut on each side.

I got a Ruf one installed by PO (people said it's a Ruf but I don't really know)
It hides nicely under the carpet that I didn't even notice it when purchasing the car...

That looks like the brace I just picked up. The part number is: R64 501 335 01. Is should be stamped in the flat spot of the crossbar.

I had the same problem when I fitted my KLA brace (from ESS). I just rotated the fuel sender 90 degrees and it solved the problem. Have a look on 30th.

Mine got the number R64 501 334 00. Maybe the early version.

I suppose mine is the 993 version......
