I've got an upper one and a lower one. Upper one took a good hour as its a bit of a squeeze. I got the lower one fitted at the same time as my coilovers this time last year

i got my omp strut brace off Si took me bout 30mins to fit and no there is no drilling uses exsiting bolts from the struts, its made it a lil bit stiffer, looks good though.

thanks guys, does anyone have one fitted with a k&N induction kit? as thats what i have and looks like it could be a squeeze! the K&N is plumbed straight in to where the blue silicone pipe is on the pic above.

I think you're thinking of an Anti-Roll bar like the Whiteline ones which would bolt onto the Rear Axle.

I'm sure someone had one and took it to the track, and it made heeps of difference to the handling!

Just had a search and it was Ticki. Balance Motorsport were going to be getting some in, but the thread related to it went dead around September, so it'd be interesting to know if they're now available or not.

Yeah, don't think you can get those Ibiza ones now. I've heard a Fabia one will fit though
