why? because its a front strut brace. Doesnt go on the back. It just doesnt OK.

I'll preempt your next question as well to save you asking... No, the front suspension struts won't fit the back, and the headlights won't fit on the back either.

i just noticed i might make u look so stupid with just changing my first post on this thread . dont panic i wont do that

anyway ,it was a good question assuming the front and rear axle distances are the same . i will wait for chris h to clarify the situation .not that i dont trust you or anything Rolling Eyes

yes it will fit in the boot. It will roll around on the floor.

The front turrets are far larger due to having to house struts than the rear so the front brace is to short for the back end.

But yes 1 will make a difference if you push the car hard enough.

the only way you will ever realy apreciate a strut brace is if you are either on a race track or are a complete headcase on the road 99% of drivers will never notice a strut brace whether is on the front or the rear or both.

you can notice the lack of a front brace on a 19. The car behaves differently.

Project Y has neither a strut brace or front Anti roll bar, in fact I don't evern know if it has a rear one!
