they are very flexible as standard so strengthening them can only be good???

rob its £70 a pair and vanzep/alex ask phil but i think its because pete has some

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.

Honda must have had the same doubts too as the later 5th gen received a hefty plate addition to beef up their arms.
