compression struts are good but they have there down side the m10 bolt that clamps through the tca is very small compared to a roll bar & both of mine snapped getting it out of the garage







so if you really have to have them then get them machined out to m12 & DO NOT use zinc plated bolts as they are weaker than self colour bolts .,
