Ripp is.t making upper braces For the likes of us yet, so omo, etech and the linked are all good. the omp lower ones are shit However, the only one worth having is the ripp one...

yeah the ripp lower ones are quite difficult to get. dont think he makes many but it transformed my car. Top brace will have to be a OMP till ripp starts producing top braces

Dont bother with a upper brace, go for a lower one, you actually get an improvment with a lower

As said avoid etech they are about as stiff as a soggy digestive
