rob its £70 a pair and vanzep/alex ask phil but i think its because pete has some :lol: being made from pressed steel they arn't the strongest item in the world, if you run a rear strut brace to stop the flex then why not add a bit of strength to the next link in the chain and stop that flexing too. makes sense to me. :? :lol:

In the words of one of the Lude gods himself

Although generally considered to be strong enough for road use I have had my doubts for some time over it's ability to resist twisting during hard use - you can in fact twist them relatively easily in your hands. Honda must have had the same doubts too as the later 5th gen received a hefty plate addition to beef up their arms.

I am going to check my rear uppers over the winter as I recently had to get my car realigned due to one of the rear wheels on my track lude being out (the one that takes the most load). It's only just clicked that this might be the problemn :scaredtoss:
