They might be able to tell you.
Good luck and let me know what you find out.

The lower brace works fantastic. The car feels much tighter, especially on bad roads. The steering wheel was always a bit "wobbly", and was worst on bumps and potholes. That has gone completely now.
For me the lower brace is a "must have". The top brace, considering Return's experience, I don't know yet.
I have the non-adjustable ones from Wiechers, though.
(Guido: kijk maar of je dit wilt plaatsen, of misschien kan je het veranderen, ofzo. Een "screw" heeft houtdraad, "nuts and bolts" zijn moeren en bouten ;o)
Mounting the top brace is not for the faint-hearted, though. You need to drill 6 holes in the strut domes, 3 on each side. So you need to remove the front bumper, light units, battery, loosen the inner wing protectors, and shake off anyone who says you are nuts to do so.
-"It does not handle well?"
-"Yes, it does, but there is room for improvement."
-"So it does not handle well!"
Then you have to get the six nuts and bolts in place. You need at least three hands, four eyes and two minds to do that. If you don't have those, you need a lot of plaster afterwards ;o(.
Having the right spanners is also necessary. There is only limited space in the dome, and most of it is occupied by the spring. Once the nuts and bolts are in place, the hard part is over. Tighten them, put everything back and enjoy the ride.
Oh, and make sure you've changed the light bulbs before you put the car back together again, 'cause it's nearly impossible afterwards. On the other hand, taking off the front bumper and the light units is a piece of cake after this exercise ;o).
Changing the original air filter is slightly more difficult with the top brace in place, but still can be done. No real problem there.
"More than I expected. The bottom brace improves the feel of the steering, the top brace improves the driving."
Can you explain a bit more on those 2 things ? Many thanks
Andy
For remarks on the bottom brace, see item 14 above.
Item 17 is mostly about installing the top brace.
I did expect some change in behaviour of the car, but not as much as this. As it is mostly about "feeling", I can't say much more than I already did. The car feels totally different. If you are in the neighbourhood (the Netherlands, Betuwe area), I'd say come and have a look (and maybe feel...).
