Strut brace

[RedUn]

Would it make a difference on the stiffer coupe I wonder ?

Of course, the coupe is stiffer overall but the front end is the same as the roadster

I was following this thread with interest. Here’s the one I’ve invested in
I’ve yet to drive it, but I can see how it will be stiffer than the tubular ones. I reserve judgement on the handling improvement until I’ve driven it, but I do like the look of it if nothing else

Looks very well made and purposeful!!

Does look great, but does the design make it incompatible with adjustable suspension? You’d need to take it off to make tweaks, which might also lead to needing an alignment.

[ref]MrPT[/ref], you’re absolutely right that it wouldn’t be compatible with adjustable units if adjusted from the turrets. Got alignment arranged for the start of next season

Well that’s great, it’s saved you £2-3k already.

Interested to hear how it feels once you’ve driven it. I’ve never taken mine off but a back to-back comparison would be interesting.

I’m interested in your BBK by the way, noticed it in your signature... got any info on it?

It's this - there are couple of pics of my car on the product page. I sanded off the Aston Martin logos and replaced them with Brembo decals:



Not the cheapest kit but the brackets are quality (anodised Al with threaded inserts) and the DB9/TTRS front brake is a perfect replacement for ours in terms of piston size and swept area. It's also very light, saving over 5kg of unsprung mass.

Nice one [ref]MrPT[/ref], I saw this site recently so great to know I’m looking in the right places... what pads are you running?

 

[MrPT]

Just the Pagid OE-equivalent ones. Cheap, good feel, low dust and perfectly adequate for “spirited”’road driving.
