I would have thought it may make it worse by making the car more solid. But chances are it would make no difference at all. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

It can help shut up some suspension noise as it shifts the resonance frequency upwards due to stiffening the mountings, it's probably not going to help with any vibrations you can feel in the cab though.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me! Custom-made polybushes available - need an odd size or fitment? - anything from batch work to one-off pieces. |

Thanks. Is there any 'good' brand of lower strut brace that does not touch the bottom sum pan of the engine.________________________________________ RJ |

There is only one "brand" of lower brace as far as I know, and that's Phil. Mine knocks against the sump a little when idling, but it's not a problem. I don't really think they're going to make any real difference to sound other than that, I'm sure I could sort it if I were that bothered. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

There's a little bit of adjustment on the bolt holes, just slack them off slightly and give it a good tug  :________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
