E30stz 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) Higher price yes, but your looking at a company thats been around for 20+ years ? with that much experience, marketing and design put into it ... you shouldnt expect they charge the same price. Otherones are so simple, that looks like it'd way close to double the weight of the schnitzer one. Edited March 6, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

325GRANT 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 it might just be the angle but it looks to me like that brace is not going to work! your trying to remove flex from your car but with the brace going up like you have it from the top of the strut it wont "stiffen" anything. do a search on "strut brace" on yahoo image search you will find that most if not all try to keep the bar as low as possible. if you need more height in it come down on an angle it will work better good luck.
