I am considering getting a whiteline strut brace and 30mm front sway bar. My car is N/A but may be turbo in the future. What i want to know is whether you guys think that i should go for the mid mount brace or the rear mount which clears the turbo plenum. I think i should go for the rear mount if i am going turbo but my thoughts are that the rear mount may not be as strong/stiff as there are two bends in the brace which may make it flex more. What do youy guys think?

I got a mid mount but i got a N/A. I've heard the rear mount goes over the fuze box and u can't get to the fuzes. As for the sway bar I was looking at an ajustable one a few weeks back but was shocked at the proce. Over 300 for an ajustable whitline one at autobarn. Give sir_5.7 (a sponsor for this site) a pm. He gave me a price which was a heap cheaper than autobarn.

yeh i got a rear mount 1 which yes u cant get to ur fuse box or fill up ur master cylinder but i rang whiteline and asked them and the have released quik release kits for them just like on a quik release bike wheel if ya get me since putting it on has made good difference i would definatly recommend 1 for the price they r the r really worth it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It made a difference to mine. Steering feels more direct mid corner.

hmm. i cant quite afford one yet. i need to rebuild the front struts first as there is a loud clunking coming form the front.
