It will be of similar concept to our best selling First Gen Mini Strutbace, with its distinctive bevelled edge triangular windows. We will be increasing size further to , where space allows, handling improvement will be a 100% certainty....Expect something available end April.

Roland,

Something else you need to design in is, to allow for the negative camber adjustment. All R56's have slotted strut towers and i for one think the extra 0.5 deg negative camber would outweigh the benefits of no additional camber and a good strutbrace.

Both together would be sweet.

So either an adjustable aerobox design, or two manufacturing options or slotted mount holes in the brace end plates.
