Nice. I have one in my trunk ready for install.

Pretty neat thing to have just sitting in the boot!! Good luck installing =)

if you have enough patience, the Ultra Racing longitudinal triangular braces achieve the same result as they connect the front subframe to the mid-brace and then go all they way to the back by the deltalinks.. but they take months to get!

Thanks for this, yeah totally aware of this but I also think there are some other way more sensible mods that can be fine ahead of this. One of them being bracing up the anti roll bar links at the back. You can pop metal conduit around the rear anti roll bars and lock them in place with grips which dramatically reduces roll. That and upgrading the anti roll bar bushes. Both in my to do list. This brace cost me the best part of £30 😎
