Seen them advertised (OMP ones) for £50 a pair from www.raldes.co.uk
The front one seems easy enough to fit...but, can you keep the seats in with the back one fitted? 
Cheers

I am sure you can keep the back seats can't you? The rear strut brace would just fix onto the rear suspension mountings and would go across the boot? Might be a bit of a problem if you had a sub though.

coz ur taking my old one 2moz  But the answer is definately yes, u can keep ur rear seats. However, U need to modify the plastic covers next to the top mounts and it does limit any room for subs etc or luggage!

Ah, I see, but the front ones are worth getting? The car is dropped about 40mm on Bilstein Streetline kit with 195/50/15 Toyo Proxes.

definatly worth getting
mine handles a bit better and my setup is standard
but be warned in the wet it makes for some under steer but you should be ok with 195's ive got 165's so thats probly why it understeers so much

On a road car which isn't driven to the limits you will stuggle to tell its there.
If it does make a big difference then that suggests you have a sloppy shell!

Here's a momo adjustable available for £65 from demon tweeks.
Non-adjustable is available for £45 but didn't find out till a month after id bought it.
Ive also got the OMP rear upper, needs to be air-gunned on due to its design though.
£50 for the two is a bargain!
The roll bar padding is £10 for the metre length from demon tweeks again!
Loads of colours available.

Cold air ducting is cheap too!
And bolts, cable tidies, sound proofing......
Was one of those impulse buys while i was in tweeks once.
Ive wasted loads of money doing that!

Not that ive heard, either that padding does its job or it just sits in the corner well.
There's no velcro or owt holding it.
Its about 3" from the brace.

With all the pipes in the way (mainly the stiff brake servo hose) its easier to put on in 2 bits.
With the adjustment you can make the suspension worse by lenghening the brace which gives loads of understeer and slides like mad under acceleration like your driving on ice!
But after a bit of fun its best off just setting to the normal distance between the turrets.
