    Default strut brace

    Hi guys,
    Is it worth buying a holden strut brace for my car for about $50, or getting an after market one for my vy? Which one?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    I'd assume as strut brace is a strut brace, so just ask around Pedders or other suspension shops and get whatever is the cheapest one I suppose.

    Hi guys,
    Got my genuine holden strut brace. Now i gotta install it. Only thing is i have to do some drilling. Do people recommend doing it urself or getting it done at a suspension place? If you've done it can you quickly run me through the procedure...

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Have a look in the how to section . Pretty sure there is something in there about fitting a vy strut brace to early model commodores
    there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
