A Frame Under Body Struts

[carlb]

Whats the script with these struts do they help handling much for general road use not track ? Am lowering this week so am considering one of these if any good to aid handling?

Also is it something i could fit straight on as in do i use the bolts already under the car ?

Thanks

Yeah bolts already under the car, but I'd spray them with penetrating fluid a day before.

Stiffen it up well

K thanks for that will go with one then to compliment lowering it. Penetrating fluid is that same as wd40 kinda or something different i should just buy? Never used it but i guess its just for old rusty bolts not snapping etc?

Engine bay struts are they really just for show or do they actually stiffen anything same with boot strut or are they just a waste of money really ?

Thanks

It is something different really, although WD40 would be better than nothing.

You can get some from Halfords, funnily enough under the WD40 brand but it isn't the same thing as traditional WD40

o bugger I think I may have actually bought the wrong thing. do the is200 have a lower strut brace in the A shape as standard as I may have just messed up and bought 2 of those?

thanks,
