I am looking for a strut brace for my 850 T5 (96) i see one regular on ebay but they only ever have red, i am looking for blue/chrome, i am sure people will have bought elsewhere and have ideas, ebay is a company called strubracer and prices are low £50, if you have contacts and prices it would be appreciated, cheers.

Yeah Don sells the Volvo braces. The genuine ones are aluminium and aftermarket are usually steel. I painted my brace black as it stood out too much for my liking in silver. You could always paint yours to the colour you like.

Can I fit a strut brace to my 02 D5? Would it make a difference?

My car already seems o have a straight steel bar between the suspension turrets but it is rubber mounted and seems to be a really sturdy damping bar.

I find this combination of engine top mounting and a 'strut brace' to be a quite interesting arrangement that I have not seen elsewhere.

I do stock a kit of poly. bushes to replace the standard Volvo rubber ones. They where all originally made to special order for M Sport who have used S60 AWD's as recce cars in support or their WRC Focus's.
