A great review left on our site by an anonymous happy customer, would it happen to be anyone here?

"I have had a 92 American Roadster for 10 years. This brace was installed on Feb 17, 2015 and it definitely gives the car better handling in general. The car also feels a lot more stable when I go over bumps and or dips on any street (low or high speed). So simple to install and the fit was perfect as described."

Hello John I want to buy one of your strut braces, but the shipping costs to the UK are more than the brace costs. Do you have any cheaper shipping companies?I am out with the L90 boys on Sunday I will ask if we can do a group buy?

PM sent! We can certainly save on shipping with multiple orders to the same location

My brace is not fitting? I've been advised to loosen all the bolts in one of the towers and it should drop right in.

Bolt holes on one side line up, but when fitting the other side the spacing is off by approximately 5 mm (holes on the strut bar are 5 mm wider out than strut tower bolts).

I've been told that I should unloosen all 4 strut bolts in the suspension tower and the bar will drop right in.
Does loosening all the bolts on one shock tower change any settings? (especially if it moves a couple mm to fit the bar)

Loosening all the bolts should not cause any change to settings. Fitment can be tight. You can try jacking up one side of the car to encourage slight flexing of the body to make fitment easier. Sounds scary right, but this is exactly where the strut bar comes into play, making the body more rigid. If anything this is slightly beneficial as it can preload the bar ever so slightly.

Thanks Jon.
I get what you are saying, just don't like the idea of the towers moving in the process. (don't want to disturb anything)
If that's how it's installed, time to get out the jack...
Thanks again (and to Brian J. also).
