As far as I can tell there are 3 strut braces for my Punto, the Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit and the Steel or Alloy OMPs. The Eibach being ~250% the price, however it seems to have both front and rear braces compared to the OMPs front only (or am I missing something). I will be combining these with some 30mm drop springs for now, some dampers will come later as I've got other things to spend money on. For a 'barely faster than a 75' 60 is the Eibach worth the extra money?

are you talking uprated anti roll bars or strut braces?

According to the shop Strut braces... this sort of thing I'd usually ask my GFs brother about (I'm handy with a spanner, can follow instructions but know little more than that car wise), however the git decided to disappear to Canada for 3 years. It leaves me clueless, oh well time to learn...

i think the eiback is an anti roll bar kit going by the wording.
its a different component really.
TBH i would go with shocks/springs 1st.
strut braces stiffen the front end but as you say your not pushing big power really.
anti roll bar upgrades i would get feedback from someone who has one as in some cars they can alter the handleing a fair bit.eg in the cinq it can induce a fair bit of understeer from some peoples accounts

I'm not pushing that much power but my 60 beats most 75s about, and above ~80mph stock 1.2 Sportings (it's not like she accelrates quickly, more that the acceleration doesn't tail off as much).

Anyway what about this for a handling pack -
Bilstein Sprintline Suspension Kit -40mm
Red Dot 40 grove front discs
Red Dot XE fast road pads

I may drop in a Janspeed cat back in there as my exhaust is starting to show its ghettoness.

the bilstein kit is a bit of a white elephant.all it is,is standard shox and lowering springs so you can just put springs on your own shox if you go that route

Thought that was the sportline not the sprintline? I could go for one of the Koni solutions instead.

custard, I thought you might want to know this. I found this looking for something else but....
Streetline (~225£) - "The Streetline kit consists of four Original Equipment (OE) Spec Bilstein Gas shock absorbers complete with lowered sports springs. This Entry-Level kit proves very good value for money."
Sprintline (~440£) - "The Sprintline kit consists of four Bilstein uprated Sports shock absorbers complete with lowered sports springs. These kits are individually developed for each model of car. Improving handling whilst maintaining excellent ride quality."
