Please don't take offence mate but my ICE system cost me a fair amount! so there's no way I'm gonna get rid of it and pop down to my local Halfrauds to replace it.

I even had the box custom made to fill the back of the boot.....f**king regrettin that now!

i used to be into system builds but got fed up in the end, so when i bought my lcr i thought i would by a sub that would not take much space and sounds ok. im happy with it.

i have an OMP honda integra type r front upper strut brace fitted in my boot, its very very neat and doesnt take up much room at all. Search for it on here and you should find my thread with pics. Its deffo a worth while mod as it improves the handling of the car for not much doller! DARE i say imo i think its better looking, more practical and certainly cheaper (i paid about £50 from memory) than this strut brace your looking at. I cant comment on performance wise between them, but i certainly know my omp one tightened up my rear end a treat! :) ;) lol

NO because I was on my nokia mobile which is tiny and only read the last page!

Also I only posted up as I thought the OMP strut brace may have been a help to the guy with the custom sub box (n1ff) as no one else had suggested it to him as an alternative!

Though I am glad someone found my thread helpful as you obviously once did hence why you have an OMP one fitted! ;)

I dont think its an alternative more of an addition to completement the top one, but yes did see your pics from many moons ago
However the OMP ones are getting harder to get now, i only found 1 uk supplier and they are over £100 too

really? that surprises me! I got mine from strutbracer.co.uk I think, and like I said it was about £50 when I bought it. Maybe sellers and seen that it fits a leon and put the price up?! ;) lol

another idea could be to find a different make honda intera typre R upper strut brace THAT has adjustable ends like the OMP one?! (just an idea for people with sub box issues!)
