Which strut brace should I go for? It's for a 1995 a 1.4 sri 16v. My local top

gear can get either an etech t2 one for £70 or a sparco for £67, and if I

get it from them it'll cost me £10 for them to fit, or if I buy one, say from

here, it would cost me £30 for them to fit. Only want someone else to fit it

as I don't have the tools, and I want to make sure everything is

professionally fitted so I can make anything go wrong! Will both do the job

and will I notice better handling?

Just worried that I wouldn't tighten them up properly, or be able to fit the thing!
Which one should I go for? Is there a difference?

E-tech are for show, some of the e-tech aluminium ones you can press down on and flex them, i'd go for OMP or maybe sparco
