loads of companies do them now, omp, sparco, raid etc.
They all do the same job but probably better going for something from a propper motorsport company just because they are usually a better fit and stronger welds, not that its going to be under loads of force i suppose.

mine is omp, screws into top of shocker. pain in the ass to fit as you have to remove all the inner placcy boot bits that cover the struts to get the nuts tightened down.
honestly, didnt notice any difference. 28 quid new off ebay though, so worth it for the look of it. honest, my sri is motorsport..........
