Struts braces

[blackdream]

Hi guys,
I'd like to buy front and rear strut braces. Any suggestion for something made for the Ibiza and not universal. Car is a '96 1.4 44kw. (even if I suppose they would be all the same for mk2 and mk3 right?). I remember I read somewhere about an OEM Seat one made for mk3 (6k0071670?) but just tell me what is a good choice.
Tnx in advance
Mario

mk3 will not fit a mk2. look on ebay, there`s afew on there and do a search on here to find out more info! this subject has come up alot in the last couple of weeks.

Actually i already searched on the board and found most of the people have the OMP one but I haven't find any Part Number and on OMP website it shows only rear one for 96 1400 Ibiza but nothing for the front. So anyone have a part number for front OMP strut brace for my car or any other suggestion?
thanks in advance
Mario

hi there buddy, mine is an omp one which was bought from strutbracer.com or similar, have a look and they may list the part numbers if they have any?

ok guys found the solution, I just have to buy the 1.8,2.0,GTI ecc one, cut the existing bolts and do new holes and it should fit fine
will update when done

Both my front and rear braces are omp, just look about on the forum or on the bay, plenty out there that will fit just fine.

do they make a big difference in handling? im wondering if i shud get front and rear as my car feels a bit vague with corners.

The difference is minimally noticable as it stiffens up each corner of the car redcuing body roll, best bet is some decent suspension and better tyres, im running front and rear braces, weitec shocks and springs and 205 tyres and it sticks to the road like poo/.
