    I say your best bet would be to search the web on UK sites

    You might even try demon tweeks uk

    Good luck

    STRUT BRACE

    i've ordered a new 98-model strut brace from mitsu with 10% off but you could call camskill 01946 694794 fax 01946 518208 ask for Mike..they give 15% off genuine mitsu parts but you may have to wait a few days as some have to come from japan.

    You could trawl the japanese cars and max mags..INSERT INTO post VALUES ( banzai or max power respectively most informative)...
    i think yours might be a specialist thing now, and you might have to get one copied from an existing and kind 1988 VR4 galant owner who has a strut brace?

    i had difficulting :INSERT INTO post VALUES ( locating any after market strut braces for new galants, so i would be impressed if anyone other than mitsu would supply them.
    good luck!

    I know where to get them in the US...maybe you could get a state-side vendor to ship one off to you. Also you could find one used on www.galantvr4.com INSERT INTO post VALUES (US spec 1991-1992 VR-4 website).

    I see them on eBay.com from time to time...
