little becky said:yea its printed not including jtd on the site because it wouldent fit on mine... strutbracer is about 6 miles away from me so i went to collect it got it home tried it . it hit the fuel filter so i took it back he tried it and found the same problem i then decided i could make it fit so took it back and fitted it but strutbracer said he was gonna alter it on his site saying not a direct fit for the jtd/s because of that problem... must have just forgotten to do ebay

little becky said:cannot remember and my bf has the car it needs to be as wide as the filter mount and deep enough just to sit below where the bulkhead curves in so the bolts welded to the plate dont hit it and PNL spot on tis exeactly how i did it (well my BF did at work) any probs and i will measure it tomorrow
Nickg101 said:PNL, now that you've fitted your strut brace do you notice much improvement in handling? My Stilo handles OK but the steering isn't very sharp - wondered if the brace makes a lot of difference. I think the Stilo body rolls quite a bit but guess I'd need lower uprated springs to improve it.
Thanks
Nick.
