Thanks fellas. Now fitted, with only minor, but permanent, damage to the rear carpeting. Front brace is a two minute job, rear somewhat more fiddly. I presume anything linking the struts with the lack of a rear deck in the Tourer must help.

Hi, I've just acquired a Spec B Tourer :) after chopping in my 2.5SE Tourer. I had strut braces on the 2.5 and I wonder if anyone has experience of fitting them to a Spec B, or should I not bother and just put them up on ebay? They were imported from the States and are well casted in aluminium. My new black beauty is a post facelift, although I doubt that makes much difference, but could the braces interfere with the Bilstein set-up? I know they made the 2.5 feel firmer and corner flatter, but the Spec B corners so much better anyway. So has anyone had any experience with this 'bilst and braces' approach or should I just fit and find out? AlistairV
