I've seen braces from Cusco and DC Sports in both Carbon & Titanium and Aliminium.

I'm looking around at the moment I want strong and light, not fussed about bling due to not being 21 anymore.

Yea I was checking out all of them Carbing, Cusco, DC Sports, Ect

The DC Sports Ti ones have caught my interest as they are the only company I have found that makes matching front and rear ti "sold" strut bars. the rest have hinges in them which is in my book. Reason being it if the car felex up ward the or the struts flex upward then the will bend as well at the piviot points where the bars are held togeather by the bolts.
