Hi all, I have a 1996 850 t5 estate, obd2. I am looking to get a front strut brace, but am finding that not a lot cater for the obd2s brake reservoir placement. Does anyone have any recommendations of strut braces/bars to fit? Thanks!

Volvo OEM does the job nicely, mine came from FRF Swansea for £75 delivered... Although it was about 4 years back.
