Thanks mate, I've done a bit of research on it and by all accounts it's a top product but I was just hoping for a "road test report" from a local.

C'mon Neil, turn on your computer.

Just trying to find out about a few different brace options to compliment the R32 control arm bushes to tighten the car up a bit, apparently the lower tie bar like the Neuspeed one is pretty worthwhile to help prevent flexing at the front control arm mount points.

The TST rear brace seems to be the choice for the rear internal style brace.

The traditional strut top brace in the engine bay generally seems to be regarded as fairly useless due to the strut towers being closely integrated with the firewall and therefore already well braced. Just for looks basically.

I read one test report where the strut top brace was mounted with some light non-flexible bonding glue (ie. not bolted on) and the car driven around like crazy, then checked only to find there wasn't even enough flexing at those points to disturb or crack the brittle glue joints.). Interesting!

I've had one in my R since they were first released. Easily one of the best bang for buck mods I did to the car. Mounting it is easy to do yourself if you have patience a decent drill and someone to help hold it, just make sure you install the nutserts properly the first time.

Thanks Al, that positive feedback re-enforces what I've been able to find out so far.

Mine's sitting in the garage at the moment ready to go in. Once my swaybars arrive the whole new suspension setup will go in in one hit.
Can't wait.
