I have one fitted. Bolts supplyied by Sparco weren't long enough :-( And cutting carpets didn't work out as I wanted :-( But it reinforces bodyshell so it must be there

I still wonder if it is possible to strenghen shock mounts for coilovers without rollcage so they stand rough roads in Poland ... :-/
