Default Carbon fiber strut brace or aluminum??need help

HI I have a 1999 Volvo C70 coupe and I wanted to install a strut brace..So after hearing so many good coment on these forums about the brace, I went to eurosporttuning.com and I ordered it. One day later i get this message..

Thank you for ordering from EuroSport Tuning. We are out of stock on the
strut bars at the moment and are changing the design. The new bars will be
out late October and will feature a carbon fiber cross bar. I have placed
your order on hold and we will ship you the new bar when they become
available. If you have any questions please let me know.


I would like to know if it is worth getting the carbon fiber stut, and if it is, is it better than the rest? i know it weighs less than any other strut, but is it more durable??

This is news to me.

I have a EST strut brace. I like it a lot, but it isn't made of CF.

I would contact them and get all the specs on the new brace.

It should still be a good deal.

If you don't want to wait and want to see if you can get one try ordering a OMP brace.

OMP Strut Bar

The OMP is the best on the market if you can find it.

How can anyone know that. It is a new product from them.

I would call and talk to Frank about it.
