Hi,Want to fit the front suspension strut brace that i have got,(adjustable Momo item),however i understand that the fixing bolts on the top of the front suspension turrets need to be re-torqued to 25NM,anyone know what this is in english money as my torque wrench is pre EU so it is calibrated in good old british FT/LBS.

Also any advice on fitting would be welcomed,especially as regards the setting of the adjustable part of the strut brace as i have no instructions regarding this setting having bought the brace secondhand.:confused:

But this is worthless unless your torque wrench has been calibrated!

My insurance company just included it on the policy at no extra cost, because they did'nt have a clue what it was no matter how much I explained, and viewed it as low risk because it only cost

The strut brace should be fitted under no tension with the car sat on the ground as usual

This mod doesn't tend to impact on the insurance cost but as already mentioned, it's non-standard so declare it.

Most of the non-power-increasing mods tend to be ok for a larger range of insurers. Remapping/chipping/whatever they call it, may not be so great in their books. Oddly some insurers will do a 'chip' but not a 'remap'. It's worth finding that out beforehand if at all possible so you can get the right term written into the policy (as effectively a chip is a replacement with a different map, whereas a remap tends to be a different map loaded into an existing chip (or ECU) - roughly same effect)

Hi,Only just fitted so not had chance to contact insurers yet ,but will do over the weekend,only hope it wont have the same effect as my non standard wheels which are 17" OZ Palladio with 205/40 Toyo Proxes,they charged me an additional £25.00 for these + £15.00 admin cost to do the change even though the total cost of the wheels and tyres is almost exactly the same as the standard items from a dealer.

But your new wheels will be viewed as more nickable than the standard ones hence the small premium increase. Still £40 ain't bad.
