No, your car is already braced front and back. Open the bonnet and look down the back of the engine, then lift up the boot carpet and right behind the rear seats is another!

Fastroad setup will make the car feel nice for about £200.
LSD for around £700 fitted
Pads, lines and fluid transforms the brakes for about £200.
Where? If thats right its my next mod for sure :smile:
I thought that was about right? £350 for a Wavetrac and around £350 for fitting depending on where you go. I covered my ass with "around" though :lol:

Guess it really depends on what you use the car for.. ie driving back and fore to work, fun car, track car etc, and how you drive to what is best for you

Mine is a fun weekend A & B road car with a few mods all of which I could live without except for

LSD
Pads, lines and fluid
Rear ARB
Fastroad setup

For me those are the best mods but then they might not be for you.... LSD wasnt cheap though and over £1000 all in but it does transform the car and I wouldnt want to live without it.... happy spending :thumbup:
