So having fitted the face lift version of the front under brace I can honestly say it's a big improvement. Definitely more substantial feeling in the front, again a reduction in flex in the chassis giving an overall improvement on handling. Annoyed at myself for not fitting it for all these years.

For those on pfl setup- I can certainly recommend getting a set ofF a FL. they're probably very cheap to get.

Yup that was my first mod!
I've also got tte mid under combined with breastplate as well.

So you already had all the above, but adding the FL tubes made a significant difference?  Am I correct that they make a parallelogram shape?  Different mounting bolts?

Anyone else done this too?

Yes yes no

People should! Kicking myself for not having done it sooner

It's the same mounting bolts, there's just two added cross beams. Here's the visible difference from when I did it on my old car a long time back: https://www.azekiel.co.uk/mrs/mods/frontmemberbrace.html

I did it but I also did the control arms, and all the front (OEM) bushes at the same time and it made a big difference.

I'm also fully poly bushed all round, did that a couple of years ago. So this change is a definite additional improvement that is noticable.
