brad25577 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi All, I'm looking for a 2 point front racing suspension strut brace for my EP80 1990 to help stabilize my steering as well as for good looks in the engine bay, best to be super white 040 if possible. Also looking for a clear distributor cap too and a blue LED rotary arm to go with it. Strut brace is more important though as my nan wants to get me one for Christmas (2017) Thanks in advance.

maddox710 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi mate the clear dis cap and led rotor arm are not available for your car(as far as I'm aware) and a Strut brace will not stabilise you steering. What exactly is your issue Link to post Share on other sites
brad25577 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 no actual issues, just thought it would help my car handling on corners, plus looks good in the engine bay. Thanks for the reply on the dis cap too, back to the drawing board for more ideas Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 What is it you are going for, few cheap handling mods? Theres no downside to a strut brace, just dont expect to see a noticable difference. Worth it for 20 - 30 quid or whatever they cost Rear strut brace you maybe see a small difference, along with a rear anti roll bar. A GT or Glanza front anti roll bar will also be an upgrade if you have a n/a. New track rods and ball joints are cheap and you should notice the handling a bit tighter. Its worth poly bushing the front lower arms too. Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I have an OEM front and 3 point OEM rear brace and a GT rear anti roll bar if you're interested. Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Clear dizzy caps and led rotors are a thing of the early 90s max powerdays mate you won' find anything like that about anymore. Best thing for handling is tyres, a new modern design of tyre is always a winner also renewal of all serviceable suspension parts will make a big difference on these old motors.

SKINY Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I have a standard front brace here finished in vxr blue, 15£ plus post, msg me email to send pics Link to post Share on other sites
brad25577 Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks for all the replies, very helpful bunch, the car has had all new parts all round, of course larger wheels too so good tyres, handling is good just wasnt sure if a strut would increase it, if not no worries, but still would make it look good i have rear bilstein gas shocks and got fronts going on soon too.
