I think it would look stranger if it was thinner, the thicker the better I think, looks like ot can do the job then!! |

Yes main thing for me is that it has practically eliminated torque steer which was particularly bad following fitting the mbc.
Re. a bracket well a simple bit of aluminium bent to shape would probably do, alternatively a couple of L shaped purpose made brackets from e.g B & Q connected or bent to form an S shape I am sure would work... anyway, it is only 2 10mm nuts to undo to remove fuse box to gain access, about 3 seconds with a ratchet and socket so I'm not too fussed about having to do that should I need to get to the fuse box.

And I'll use mine to whack CTCNetwork around the head a few times before fitting it in case he makes any rude comments about it....

I have the Sparco strutbrace as well, I installed it after fitting 18's & lowered springs/shocks. It still made a real difference to the handling, best £65 I've spent. I also have a rear strut brace & Whiteline adjustable A/R bar, it's great in the dry but I find the back end slides in the wet more now!
