ok we have been looking at strutbrace and found a site that sells rear ones for the b are they worth having and does any one have one?
and found front one for alu £100 and steel is cheaper.
we also have a friend who might be able to make one for us, as with abs its not so easy to find.
has anybody fitted the cathedral type as they look good but are they better fit than standard ones?

seen them £20 on ebay any thoughts
 
The Barchetta has a solid panel between the fuel tank and boot so I dont think the rear strut will do that much but at only 56 euro its a nice little mod anyway (y)

Hmmmm, not convinced about that - nice mod but am not 100% sure about how it will contribute. The front strut brace ties the top of the front shocks together to stiffen up the front end, can't see how this will stiffen up the rear end as its rear, if anything an under car strut might be more effective..........
 
Dont see why not. I have had both types, ABS and non ABS on my Barchetta with ABS :D. LRB now has my old strut on his B. I changed as I needed more room for my air intake system. The ABS unit is not the problem its the newer style intake system that sits close to the bar.

Your car has the same intake as LRB so you can fit both types of strut.
