What a difference compression struts make
My Escos has big brakes and compression struts fitted, and under braking and turn in, it is utterly stable and predictable. Before I fitted them lots of people said they are not worth sacraficing the front ARB for..
Having driven 2 different saffs with the standard ARB, but both with powerflex bushes & big brakes, they were noticably far more unstable hard on the brakes, and less precise on turn in.
For about £170,( Compbrake items) I would say they are one of the best handling mods for a Cosworth, tightens the car right up. Going to buy some for my Saff now!
