Actually, mine has these feet too.

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

Yeah this brace is different to that. I'm sure the bar sits a lot closer to the seats. I'm sure there was a discussion about this on PUK a few years ago.

Any way it's sold.

You can just about make out in this pic that the brace I sold has the bar position in front of the rear shocks where as Pushki's pic shows the bar after the shock (the difference between the 2WS and 4WS versions). The 4WS bar allows room for the 4th gen 4WS ECU on the back of the seats.

I've just had a look at mine since I was in the boot pissing about with the torsion bars...

Mine has the same feet as Pushki's although the bar is in front of the rear shocks.

I don't think it matters since the shock bolt pattern is equidistant, so the brace should fit either way around?

I know there's something not quite right with that statement but hopefully you'll catch my drift.
