Right, after my recent track day it felt like my suspension struts were wandering all over the place, possibly made worse now with the diff searching for grip.
I've got a upper strut brace but didn't have a lower one, and several people there had the lower ones and said they made a considerable difference to keeping the suspension tight(er) when hard cornering.
Went to buy it from strutbracer.co.uk found it on there, added it to basket and got like £8 delivery added on top. In total I was like jesus that's a bit pricey...
Did a google search and found it a lot cheaper on ebay, but it was the strut bracer ebay shop  
only £6 for delivery and about £10 cheaper than their website price... I just find it a bit odd that I've bought the same item from same company but it's costing me like £12 less. nearly 25% cheaper considering the price.
Why is this?  am I gonna get one made out of cardboard?

Strut bracer, 106parts, and YBRacing (OMP bits) are all the same company... I've had several bad dealings with them in the past, and their prices are always all over the place...

^^ welcome to my world. I can only park in one place in Reading because of this
probably just laziness tbh, if they have 3 seperate shops running 3 seperate databases, keeping all of them aligned is a job in itself. wouldn't knock it though

Oh well, pretty easy to fit, I'll maybe just fit it for when i do a track day and take it back off again after.
