Spoon Rear Strut Brace

Fits 4th gen 2WS cars and should fit all 5th gens.

Now a rare item having been discontinued ages ago. This had been on my car since before it was imported. Great functional condition but has a few cosmetic marks.

£95 delivered to the UK.

If someone with a 4th is interested in having a matching pair I may part with my excellent condition Spoon front brace.

Light rust / discolouration on the Spoon logos on the foot plates however these are hidden when installed.

Small scratches on the bottom of the bar. Unnoticeable when installed.
Image

Marks on the side that faces the seat. Again unnoticeable when installed.

I have one fitted to my Rear 4th gen. I have 4ws. Unless they made two versions it may fit 4ws cars too

I am sure there are two types of rear Spoon brace for 2WS and 4WS cars. @Pushki knows I think.

I'm not sure. I have 2WS. :think:
Possibly fitting it with the feet round the other way will give you the extra room for the 4WS ECU. :idea:

Not mega helpful but the rear one I have has the feet like the front brace (complete circle rather than crescent). Bought it from frank on PUK, IIRC he had a 4G but I've no idea if it was 4WS or 2WS.

Actually, mine has these feet too.

How much room does a 4WS ECU take up? There seems to be a good 4".
