I got the Sparco one from them, the difference is noticeable straight away! Keep your eye on them, occasionally they put them on ebay as an auction, I got mine for £16 and picked it up myself as I live down the road!
Even at £50-60 they are worth the outlay, I had standard suspension when I first fitted mine and could feel the change immediately.

The one on strutbracer website says 16V only and not 20V?? I thought they would fit the same?? only £48 and I prefer the idea of 2 bolts at each strut. Can anyone confirm if it would fit the 20valve?

Getting there slowly but surely. Who needs Gran Tourismo when you can do it for real!!
